The OLCF was established at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 2004 with the mission of standing up a supercomputer 100 times more powerful than the leading systems of the day.
A team of researchers ran transient, or continuous, simulations on an ORNL supercomputer over three years to create the first physics-based test of hemispheric deglaciation, work that was recently featured in Nature.
The next era in high-performance computing is here. On Monday, March 11, researchers from a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines were granted access to the Titan supercomputer’s GPUs.
Beginning Friday, April 12th at 8:00 am, Titan was removed from production while the OLCF conducts the final tests to ensure that the system is ready for your science experiments. We expect Titan to be unavailable to users for final checkout and testing through mid- to late May. Further updates will be sent in the weekly messages and posted on the Titan User Guide.
