Thunder's Power Delivers Breakthrough Science

摘要

Livermore's Thunder supercomputer allows researchers to model systems at scales never before possible. Whether a computer is simulating the aging and performance of a nuclear weapon, the folding of a protein, or the probability of rainfall over a particular mountain range, the necessary calculations can be enormous. With each advancement in system hardware or software, Livermore researchers are ever ready to test the limits of computing power in search of answers to these and other complex problems.
