In this specification, the Ministry of Energy listed three sub-billion supercomputers to be developed, but the third one belongs to the 'potential system'. Whether or not development depends on the situation. The two supercomputers to be developed are developed. To meet the mission requirements of the Advanced Science Research (ASCR) project of the DOE Science Office and the Advanced Simulation and Computation (ASC) project of the National Nuclear Safety Administration, they will be deployed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore respectively. National Laboratory, put into use in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
This is the second time that the U.S. Department of Energy has decided to invest heavily in the development of billions of billions of secondary supercomputer systems. The first U.S. billion billion subordinate supercomputer, codenamed A21, is currently in development and will be deployed in Agung. The National Laboratory was put into use in 2021. The Department of Energy requested that the computers deployed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory must use a different architecture than the A21, and deploy the computer architecture at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It can be either the same as the A21 or the computer deployed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, or it can be another new architecture.
'These new systems represent the next generation of supercomputers and are critical tools for American scientists and American industries,' said Minister of Energy Rick Perry, 'they will help ensure that the U.S. is in high-performance computing. Continuing leadership in an important area. '
According to the Ministry of Energy, the development speed of the proposed supercomputer system will be 50 to 100 times faster than the current fastest supercomputer in the United States. It will greatly promote US scientific research and industrial development, and it is expected to develop new materials. Nuclear safety Evaluation, password deciphering, cancer research and other fields have shown their talents.
