On the Road: Honors for Oak Ridge
November 16th, 2009

This week, the Top500 listing ranked the “Jaguar” computer at Oak Ridge as the fastest in the world. Also listed was the University of Tennessee’s “Kraken” computer at number 3 in the rankings.

Congratulations to both Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL) and the University of Tennessee for their continued pursuit of excellence in technology and research. The computational sciences are the foundation for research in areas of energy, medicine, transportation and innovation in consumer products.  In the global economy, the leadership at both ORNL and UT has positioned the Tennessee Technology Corridor to be the epicenter of world-class research and development.

We can all be proud that these achievements are happening here in Tennessee. Placing our state at the forefront of research and working closely with the talented scientists at Oak Ridge will be a priority of mine as a member of Congress.
