Abstract: Gelfand, Retakh, Serconek and Wilson, in cite{GRSW}, defined a graded algebra $A_{G}amma$ attached to any finite ranked poset $Gamma$ - a generalization of the universal algebra of pseudo-roots of noncommutative polynomials. This algebra has since come to be known as the splitting algebra of $Gamma$. The splitting algebra has a secondary filtration related to the rank function on the poset and the associated graded algebra is denoted here by $A{\text{'}}_{G}amma$. We calculate the cohomology algebra (and coalgebra) of $A{\text{'}}_{G}amma$ explicitly. As a corollary to this calculation we have a proof that $A{\text{'}}_{G}amma$ is Koszul (respectively quadratic) if and only if $Gamma$ is Cohen-Macaulay (respectively uniform). We show by example that the cohomology algebra (resp. coalgebra) of $A_{G}amma$ may be strictly smaller that the cohomology algebra (resp. coalgebra) of $A{\text{'}}_{G}amma$.
