The CORAL project, (Collaboration of Oak Ridge, Argonne and Livermore) – formed so that they could combine forces when purchasing their next major supercomputing installations.
In the next 2-3 years, all three Department of Energy (DOE) centers will be seeking to deploy their first 100-plus petaflop systems. The collaboration enables the labs to combine experience and buying power. The three-way partnership includes about 100 experts, who will be participating in the acquisition process. The systems are expected to carry a hefty price tag of about $125 million, which will buy about 100-200 petaflops of computing power.
HPCWire reports, Congress passed a law directing the Department of Energy to develop exascale computing capability within the next decade in order to meet the objectives of the nuclear stockpile stewardship program.
