High-performance computing at Los Alamos
Robert H. Ewald · University of North Texas Digital Library (University of North Texas) · 1983
The Los Alamos National Laboratory is operated by the University of California for the United States Department of Energy (DOE). The Laboratory employs about 7000 people, and its mission is to perform research and development activities related to national security and energy programs. To support its own and other national programs, the Laboratory has developed a state-of-the-art scientific computing network that supports about 4500 users. The network, called the Integrated Computing Network (ICN), is shown. About 100 computers are connected to the ICN, and it is separated physically or logically into three security partitions: Secure for classified computing; Open for unclassified computing; and Administrative for administrative computing. The networks are described and some data on system performance and workload characterization are given.
