Breaking the 1 million core barrier in computational science

A new milestone in high performance computing was reached late Tuesday evening (1/22/13) when Stanford researcher and Cascade consultant Dr. Joe Nichols ran the CharLES solver on more than 1 million processor cores. This breakthrough happened during “Early Science” testing of the newly installed Sequoia supercomputer at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (LLNL). The Sequoia [...]
