Ranger’s deployment marks the beginning of the Petascale Era
in high-performance computing (HPC) where systems will approach a
thousand trillion floating point operations per second and manage a
thousand trillion bytes of data.
Ranger is the largest HPC computing resource on the NSF
TeraGrid, a nationwide network of academic HPC centers that provides
scientists and researchers access to large-scale computing power and
resources. Ranger will provide more than 500 million processor hours of
computing time to the science community, performing more than 200,000
years of computational work over its four-year lifetime.
"Ranger is the first of the new 'Path to Petascale' systems
that NSF provides to open science. It is out in front on the pathway to
sustained petascale performance," said Daniel Atkins, director of the
NSF's Office of Cyberinfrastructure. "This system and others to come
underscore NSF's commitment to world-class, high-performance computing
ensuring that the U.S.
is a leader in computational science. No longer used by a handful of
elite researchers in a few research communities on select problems,
advanced computing has become essential to the way science and
engineering research and education are accomplished."
That's a computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!☺☻☺☻p.s.I've found away to make those simle face's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
