Update on the Department of Energy Leadership Computing Facilities

Did you ever say to yourself “Boy I wished I had a bigger computer.” Do you have a modeling problem that could benefit from “really” high performance computing but do not know how to get it? Are you trying to create big models but find that cloud computing is the wrong answer but that a large high-performance computer might be the right answer? The Department of Energy (DOE) Leadership Computing Facilities (LCF) are a set of the highest performance publicly accessible computing facilities in the US. ALCF current has Frontier (#1), Summit (#5), and Perlmutter (#8) among the top 10 in the Top500 HPC list. A two exascale floating point computer, Aurora at Argonne National Laboratory, is set to come online as part of LCF in the next year. This presentation will update the previous introductory presentation on the DOE LCF and explain how researchers and industry can gain access and training to use these incredible facilities.
