Compute Resources

Stanford and other PSAAP centers will focus on unclassified applications of interest to the NNSA and its three national laboratories: Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos and Sandia. The PSAAP centers will develop not only the science and engineering models and software for their large-scale simulations but also methods associated with the emerging disciplines of verification and validation, and uncertainty quantification. The goal of that research is to enable scientists to make precise statements about the degree of confidence they have in their simulation-based predictions.

To perform the simulations, the researchers will have access to some of the NNSA's fastest supercomputers. One such machine, named "Red Storm," has a theoretical peak performance of 124 trillion operations per second and ranks sixth in the world in supercomputer performance, according to the website Top500.org
