New military supercomputer named after Mississippi Medal of Honor recipient
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has dedicated their new HPE EX 4000 supercomputer in honor of Medal of Honor recipient, Corporal William “Kyle” Carpenter. Named “Carpenter,” the machine can perform nine quadrillion calculations per second, aiding the Department of Defense with computational challenges. The system boasts 277,248 AMD compute cores and 563 terabytes of memory. A native of Mississippi, Carpenter saved a fellow Marine in Afghanistan by shielding him from a grenade blast. ERDC has a history of naming high-performance computers after state heroes, and Carpenter’s image adorns this supercomputer.

SUMMARY: Mississippi officials are considering building a casino in Jackson to boost economic development and tourism. In March, House Bill 1989 proposed a program to finance a gaming center downtown, but it failed to pass. A coalition of business leaders, including former Gov. Haley Barbour, has since advocated for a casino in Jackson, citing the city’s population decline and the growing suburbs. However, state law restricts casinos to coastal or river areas, so legislative changes would be needed. Some industry leaders oppose the idea, fearing it could lead to more casinos in other cities and hurt existing establishments.
