NERSC (National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center)
NERSC (National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center) has a mission to provide high end computing communication and storage services to the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Supporting over 3000 users and 500 different applications, their computing systems grapple with some of the worlds most challenging energy-related issues.
The largest system, a Cray XT5 supercomputer (“Franklin”), was upgraded from Dual-Core AMD Opteron to quad-core processors, doubling the performance. NERSC’s next phase is to install the next-generation Cray supporting 8- and 12-core AMD Opteron 6100 processors that will increase their facility’s peak performance to more than a petaflop.
