SANTA FE (AP) - Gov. Bill Richardson says the University of New Mexico  
has received a $41 million federal grant for the state's supercomputer.

Richardson said Friday the money comes from the National Science  
Foundation.

The money will help fund the state's supercomputing center, the New  
Mexico Computing Applications Center, for five years. The center  
oversees the state's supercomputer, Encanto.

The supercomputer models how climate change will affect mountain water  
systems in New Mexico.

The center also is working to develop a long-term database to provide  
scientists, decision makers and citizens with information to address  
environmental, social and technological challenges.

Do you know if we could have a GPU/Rendering effort included?

GPU rendering/programming is fast becoming a fact of life for serious  
visualization, and a supercomputer center without GPU blades would be  
only half super.
