![]() ![]() The heavyweight supercomputers are required to meet the mission needs of the Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) Program within the DOE’s Office of Science and the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program within the National Nuclear Security Administration. The fruits of the original CORAL RFP include Summit and Sierra, ~200 petaflops systems being built by IBM in partnership with Nvidia and Mellanox for Oak Ridge and Livermore, respectively, and “A21,” the retooled Aurora contract with prime Intel (and partner Cray), destined for Argonne in 2021 and slated to be the United States’ first exascale machine. Although funding is not yet secured, the anticipated budget range for each system is significant: $400 million to $600 million per machine including associated non-recurring engineering (NRE).ĬORAL of course refers to the joint effort to procure next-generation supercomputers for Department of Energy’s National Laboratories at Oak Ridge, Argonne, and Livermore. ![]() On Monday, the United States Department of Energy announced its intention to procure up to three exascale supercomputers at a cost of up to $1.8 billion with the release of the much-anticipated CORAL-2 request for proposals (RFP). ![]() Since 1987 - Covering the Fastest Computers in the World and the People Who Run Them ![]()
