NERSC (National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center) has a mission to provide high end computing, communication and storage services to the Department of Energy's Office of Science. Supporting over 3000 users and 500 different applications, their computing systems grapple with some of the world's most challenging energy-related issues. Their largest system, a Cray XT5 supercomputer ("Franklin") was upgraded from AMD Opteron dual-core to quad-core processors, doubling the performance. NERSC's next phase is to install the next-generation Cray, supporting 8 and 12-core AMD Opteron 6000 processors that will increase their facility's peak performance to more than a petaflop.
i mean, from dual cores.
