insideHPC, Tuesday, March 26th, 2024
What does a supercomputer center do when it's operating two systems among the TOP-10 most powerful in the world - one of them the first system to cross the exascale milestone?
It starts planning its successor. The center is Oak Ridge National Lab, one of several U.S. Department of Energy national labs permanently at the tip of the computing spear.
In this @HPCpodcast episode we caught up with Matt Sieger, project director for the sixth iteration of the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility's (OLCF-6) next-generation supercomputer, the successor to the Frontier exascale system. Matt provices a glimpse of the project, its objectives, status, and timelines, along with some surprising possibilities regarding vendors that mightbuild, or contribute to, OLCF-6.
