HokieSpeed, the new super computer from Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering, debuted in December 2011 under the guidance of Wu Feng, associate professor with the computer science and electrical and computer engineering departments. He said HokieSpeed was Virginia Tech’s latest war horse in the research arena. “This instrument will empower faculty, students, and staff across disciplines to tackle problems previously viewed as intractable or that required heroic efforts and significant domain-specific expertise to solve.”
