IBM, Nvidia and the US Department of Energy are working together to produce two new supercomputers named Summit and Sierra.
The US Department of Energy, IBM and Nvidia will undertake the construction of two new supercomputer centers to create applications that will be used on two supercomputers about to be called Summit and Sierra.
The new centers will be places where IBM and Nvidia scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California cooperate with many scientific experts from the US Department of Energy. In particular, IBM and Nvidia will serve as contract partners to develop and maintain two new supercomputers expected to put into operation in 2018.
The new centers with two new supercomputers promises to pave the way for more researches about energy, climate, cosmology, biology, physics, astronomy and all the concerns about national security.
