Dell EMC-built Pitzer Cluster at the Ohio Supercomputer Center
University and industry researchers across the state of Ohio will soon have access to the newest, most efficient system at the Ohio Supercomputer Center—the liquid-cooled, Dell EMC-built Pitzer Cluster, announced the Ohio Supercomputer Center.
The theoretical peak performance of the cluster is about 1.3 petaflops, meaning it is capable of performing 1.3 quadrillion calculations per second. In other words, to match the potential of what the Pitzer Cluster could do in just one second, a single person would have to perform one calculation every second for 41,195,394.5 years.
Named for Russell M. Pitzer, a co-founder of the center and emeritus professor of chemistry at Ohio State University, the Pitzer Cluster is expected to be at full production status and available to clients in late November. The new system will power a wide range of research from understanding the human genome to mapping the global spread of viruses.
