Terascale Simulation Facility

Last crawled date: 5 years, 1 month ago

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Terascale Simulation Facility houses one of the world’s most powerful computers, Blue Gene/L. Blue Gene/L occupied the No. 1 position on the Top500 list in June 2007; the current system achieves a Linpack benchmark performance of 478.2 TFlop/s (teraflops, or trillions of calculations per second). A 20 PFlop/s (petaflops, or quadrillions of calculations per second) system named Sequoia is scheduled to be sited in the TSF machine room in late 2011 and be fully operational in 2012. Another Blue Gene class machine, Dawn, has already been installed to act as a developmental testbed for multi-petaflop computing.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia] Modeled with Building Maker
