Idaho National Laboratory unveiled its newest supercomputer, Teton, to quadruple its high-performance computing capacity. Launched last week, the supercomputer has joined the lab’s Collaborative Computing Center and is now available to users.
Amid rising demand for computational resources, Teton’s high performance will help accelerate reactor deployment in the US.
The supercomputer can be accessed through the US Department of Energy’s Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) to aid the country’s nuclear energy-related research projects.
TOP500, the organization that ranks the world’s most powerful computing systems, listed Teton’s HPE Cray EX4000 as the 85th most powerful supercomputer globally.
Deemed as the INL’s new flagship computer, Teton replaces Sawtooth, the previous supercomputer commissioned in 2020. It can perform 20.8 quadrillion calculations per second – four times more powerful than Sawtooth while weighing only one-third the size.
