The OLCF was established at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2004 with the mission of standing up a supercomputer 100 times more powerful than the leading systems of the day.
The next era in high-performance computing is here. On Monday, March 11, researchers from a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines were granted access to the Titan supercomputer’s GPUs.
Researchers led by Gerald Meehl of the National Center for Atmospheric Research used ORNL’s Jaguar supercomputer to explore just how much sea level is likely to rise and under what circumstances.
ORNL made a splash at November’s SC12 supercomputing conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, demonstrating the lab’s high-performance computing achievements over the past year.
