NCCS doubles computational capacity available to researchers

11/09/2012
In late October 2012, the NCCS doubled the computational capacity it provides for SMD researchers by completing installation of 480 Intel Xeon Sandy Bridge nodes, and installing 240 Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors (Many Integrated Core, MIC) on its Discover Linux Cluster. With the addition of another 240 Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors in early November, Discover's peak capacity will exceed 1 PetaFLOP, poising the system to accommodate greater numbers of climate simulation ensemble members and the very fine resolutions required to investigate problems such as the effects of regional weather events on seasonal climate.
