The Yellowstone is the name of the new petascale supercomputing resource in the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC) in Cheyenne, Wyoming with production computing operations expected to begin in summer 2012.
Yellowstone will be an IBM iDataPlex supercomputer system, consisting of Intel Sandy Bridge EP processors and a Mellanox FDR InfiniBand full fat tree. It will have 149.2 terabytes of memory, 74,592 processor cores and a peak computational rate of 1.6 petaflops.
The central file and data storage resource will consist of file system servers and storage devices that will be linked to the supercomputer systems and provide nearly 17 petabytes of usable disk space.
The Yellowstone system features 9.7 million times the computational rate, 3.4 million times the disk capacity, and 19 million times the central memory size of one of the world’s first supercomputers, the Cray 1-A, which supported NCAR’s computational science between 1977 and 1989.
