FollowNERSC Begins Acceptance Tests of Cray T3E-900
July 7, 1997
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at Berkeley Lab began acceptance tests Aug. 4 of the center's new Cray T3E-900 supercomputer, one of the most powerful unclassified computers in the nation.
The acceptance test program involves running a well-defined workload of scientific applications on the 512-processor supercomputer. As the tests progress, users of the machine at Berkeley Lab will also be able to run a limited number of applications on the T3E.
In order to pass the acceptance test, the T3E must be available for computing 90 percent of the time over a 30-day period. The tests are being coordinated by the NERSC Systems Group.
About NERSC and Berkeley Lab
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility that serves as the primary high performance computing center for scientific research sponsored by the Office of Science. Located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, NERSC serves almost 10,000 scientists at national laboratories and universities researching a wide range of problems in climate, fusion energy, materials science, physics, chemistry, computational biology, and other disciplines. Berkeley Lab is a DOE national laboratory located in Berkeley, California. It conducts unclassified scientific research and is managed by the University of California for the U.S. Department of Energy. »Learn more about computing sciences at Berkeley Lab.
