The Appro Xtreme-X supercomputer consists of 14\u00a0racks with a total of 12,512\u00a0cores based on AMD Opteron processors. It has already achieved a peak speed of 91\u00a0teraflops, meaning it can perform 91\u00a0trillion floating point calculations per second. According to Appro, Fission is equivalent in size and speed to systems ranked in the world\u2019s top 100\u00a0supercomputers in the November 2010\u00a0list issued by independent organisation Top500. <\/p>\n<p>Eric Whiting, interim director of INL\u2019s Center for Advanced Modeling and Simulation, described Fission as a \u201cvery capable supercomputer that enables increased fidelity in modelling and simulation of complex systems and processes.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Supercomputers are a vital tool used in nuclear science by universities and national laboratories. An INL team is already using Fission to simulate what happens to the metal cladding that surrounds uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor. The supercomputer helped the team to create a 3-D fuel rod model that simulates how heat, pressure and other conditions affect cladding during its first 18\u00a0months in a reactor. \u201cFission is enabling us to simulate things we couldn\u2019t before,\u201d said computational applied mathematician Derek Gaston, who worked on the fuel rod project. \u201cWith Fission, we have been able to simulate a real fuel rod in a real reactor. We haven\u2019t had the computing power to do that until now.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The world\u2019s fastest supercomputer, according to the most recent Top500\u00a0listing, is the 2.57\u00a0petaflops per second Tianhe-1A system at China\u2019s National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin. This has been applied to over 100\u00a0scientific projects, including research to optimize simulation code for magnetic confinement in fusion.<\/p>\n<p>Second place is taken by the Jaguar system at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, which has achieved 1.75\u00a0petaflops per second. When Japan Atomic Energy Agency\u2019s 186.1\u00a0teraflops per second supercomputer was launched in March 2010\u00a0it could boast of being the 19th fastest supercomputer in the world and the fastest dedicated solely to civil nuclear research. It now ranks 33rd in the most recent listing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research into nuclear and energy-related issues at the USA\u2019s Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has taken a step forward with the installation of a new 12,512-processor supercomputer.
