There s a new supercomputer that will soon by coming to Wyoming, in Cheyenne nonetheless, and it will rank among the fastest supercomputers throughout the world.
The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO announced on Wednesday (January 27th) that Hewlett-Packard Enterprise has won a bid to financially back the new supercomputer center in Cheyenne. The bid was in the range between $35 million and $40 million.
The purpose of the new supercomputer coming to Wyoming is to help study several scientific based issues such as climate change, wildfires, severe weather, and solar flares.
Theoretically speaking, the new supercomputer, known as the HPE-Cray EX will have the ability to perform at almost 20 quadrillion calculations per second. That equates to 3.5 times faster than the current machine located at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputer Center in Cheyenne. To give you an idea of just how fast the new supercomputer would be, imagine every person on the planet solving a ma
That power will enable some of the most sophisticated simulations yet of large-scale natural and human-influenced events.
The supercomputer should rank among the world s 25 fastest after it s installed this year and goes into operation in early 2022, according to the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
It “will support basic research in ways that will lead to more detailed and useful predictions of the world around us, thereby helping to make our society more resilient to increasingly costly disasters and contributing to improved human health and well-being, centre Director Everette Joseph said in a news release.
More than 4,000 people from hundreds of universities and other institutions worldwide have used the supercomputing centre since it opened in 2012.
Supercomputer set for Wyoming
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) A new supercomputer in Wyoming will rank among the world s fastest and help study phenomena including climate change, severe weather, wildfires and solar flares.
Houston-based Hewlett Packard Enterprise won a bid to provide the $35 million to $40 million machine for a supercomputing center in Cheyenne, the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, announced Wednesday.
