![]() ![]() It will provide computer access to researchers at INL, other national laboratories, industry and universities. Sawtooth is funded by the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy through the Nuclear Science User Facilities program. “Other industries and organizations, such as aerospace, have relied on modeling and simulation to bring new technologies to market much faster without compromising safety and performance.” With advanced modeling and simulation and the computing power now available, we expect to be able to dramatically shorten the time it takes to test, manufacture and commercialize new nuclear technologies,” Wagner said. Department of Energy designated INL to lead NRIC, which was established to provide developers the resources to test, demonstrate and assess performance of new nuclear technologies, critical steps that must be completed before they are available commercially. John Wagner, the associate laboratory director for INL’s Nuclear Science and Technology directorate, said Sawtooth plays an important role in developing and deploying advanced nuclear technologies and is a key capability for the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC). The boost in computing power will enable researchers at INL and elsewhere to simulate new fuels and reactor designs, greatly reducing the time, resources and funding needed to transition advanced nuclear technologies from the concept phase into the marketplace. Of 102 new systems added to the list in the past six months, only three were faster than Sawtooth. That is the highest ranking reached by an INL supercomputer. The $19.2 million system ranks #37 on the 2019 Top500 fastest supercomputers in the world. Named after a central Idaho mountain range, Sawtooth arrived in December and will be available to users soon. #AI DEVS TIME LAPSE TOOL SPEED UP INSTALL#In this video, technicians install the Sawtooth supercomputer from HPE at Idaho National Laboratory. ![]()
