LANL Computing Platforms Available for PSAAP Centers
As of February 2009, Los Alamos National Laboratory has announced a large increase in the amount of computing power available for use at Los Alamos by the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP) Centers. To read more about the PSAAP Centers, see the announcement in the March 2008 ASC eNews.
For more details and contact information about the resources at LANL, go to the web site http://www.lanl.gov/asc/ and click on the PSAAP link under the heading Documents.
Three new platforms, including the hybrid Roadrunner system Cerrillos, are available. Users are encouraged to take advantage of these powerful resources:
