Iowa State-led team wins supercomputer time to study nuclear structures, reactions

A team led by an Iowa State University nuclear physicist has won a grant of 204 million hours on two of the country’s fastest supercomputers to study the structure and reactions of rare and exotic nuclei.

The grant allocates 104 million hours on the Titan supercomputer (a Cray XK7 hybrid system) at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility in Tennessee and 100 million hours on the Mira supercomputer (an IBM Blue Gene/Q system) at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility in Illinois. The machines operate at the petascale and are capable of more than a quadrillion calculations per second.

The research team’s computing time on the two computers is for the first year of a grant that can be renewed for two additional years.
