Titan Supercomputer

Good gods, that is a lot of computer.

Don't think it would fit in my room, though. Too bad the article neglected to mention what the Dept. of Energy is going to do with their new supercomputer.

Given it's DOE funded, I'm guessing a big focus will be on energy storage and generation materials, possibly some climate work, radiation modelling, and/or particle physics simulations or data collation is also a possibility. In short, it'll be for whatever gets the computing time grants funded.

I also read recently that there's a new supercomputer online at the University of Wyoming, called Yellowstone, that will be the first of its kind to be solely dedicated to geoscience research.

EDIT: Oh, it's specifically ORNL, which means it will almost certainly see a lot of work in the nuclear sciences.
