"DOE to Field Pre-Exascale Supercomputers Within Four Years"
The national labs at Oak Ridge, Argonne, and Lawrence Livermore are banding together for their next refresh of supercomputers. In late 2016 or early 2017, all three DOE centers are looking to deploy their first 100-plus petaflop systems, which will serve as precursors to their exascale machine further down the line. The labs will issue a request for proposal (RFP) later this year with the goal of awarding the work to two prime subcontractors. | read more>

"Towering performance by Sequoia"
A team led by Argonne National Laboratory used the recently developed Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Codes (HACC) framework to achieve nearly 14 petaflops on the 20-petaflop Sequoia, an IBM BlueGene/Q supercomputer, in a record-setting benchmark run with 3.6 trillion simulation particles. HACC provides cosmologists the ability to simulate entire survey-sized volumes of the universe at a high resolution, with the ability to track billions of individual galaxies. | read more>
