Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory broke ground yesterday on a modular and sustainable supercomputing facility that will provide a flexible infrastructure able to accommodate the Laboratory’s growing demand for high performance computing (HPC). The $9.875 million building, located on the Laboratory’s east side, will ensure computer room space to support the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program’s unclassified HPC systems. ASC is the high-performance simulation effort of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) stockpile stewardship program to ensure the safety, security and reliability of the nation’s nuclear deterrent without testing. “Unclassified high performance computing is critical to the stockpile stewardship program’s success and the need for this capability will continue to grow,” said Laboratory Director Bill Goldstein. “Modernizing the Lab’s computing infrastructure will enable us to better exploit next-generation supercomputers for NNSA by tapping the talents of top academic and private sector partners.” To read further, please visit https://www.llnl.gov/news/lawrence-livermore-breaks-ground-unclassified-supercomputing-facility.
