Earth Science Project To Consume 83 million Processor Hours

Campus Technology: Scientists from seven institutions will be consuming 83 million processor hours from a supercomputer at Argonne National Laboratory to better understand why astronomical bodies, including the Earth, generate self-sustaining, large-scale magnetic fields. The project was made possible through an award program started a decade ago by the United States Department of Energy. INCITE — Innovation and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment — grants time on two of the largest supercomputers run by the Department, one at Argonne in Illinois and the other at Oak Ridge in Tennessee.
