The University of Miami just invested $3.7 million in a new campus-wide supercomputer, and it's a case study in how higher education is changing in the age of big data

industries like energy, transportation, and finance — with academia being the latest to join the fray.

To get a sense of how supercomputing has worked in higher education, and to see what capabilities it offers that other schools might soon adopt, Business Insider talked with Nicholas Tsinoremas, who founded and directs the UM Center for Computational Science and serves as UM's vice provost for research computing and data. He says that demand in higher education for supercomputing is set to rise.

Business school offerings at UM have also expanded to include supercomputing. The university's business analytics program, called digital marketing, and master's in data science both use supercomputing to prepare students to better process data in the digital age. TRITON currently processes more than 10 petabytes of data, which over 1,500 individual users across UM's three campuses currently utilize for research and education.

"If I put in a supercomputer into a university, everybody gets to use it," Turek said. "As a result, it really amplifies the leverage that the university gets from the investment they've made."
