Sequoia Supercomputer, LLNL, 2012
Sequoia, a world-class IBM BlueGene/Q computer sited at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, for the National Nuclear Security Administration, is exploring a broad range of science to shakeout the machine and fully develop the capabilities the system will require to fulfill its national security missions. Located in Livermore's TSF computing facility, Sequoia is a resource used by researchers at the three nuclear weapons labs - Los Alamos, Sandia and Lawrence Livermore national labs. Sequoia was ranked No. 1 on the industry-standard Top500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers in June, 2012. The system also was No. 1 on the Green 500, as the world's most energy efficient computer, and No. 1 on the Graph 500, a measure of the ability to solve big data problems - finding the proverbial needle in the haystack. As of 2015 it currently ranks third. No photographer credited, dated 2012.
