There’s a good reason research institutions keep pushing for faster supercomputers: They allow the researchers to develop more realistic simulations than slower machines.
Summit won’t be open to users for another three years, but let’s not forget that ORNL already has the world’s second-fastest computer—the 27 petaflop Titan.
To help researchers make the most of Summit from day one, the Center for Accelerated Application Readiness brings application developers together with experts from the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility and hardware makers IBM and NVIDIA.
