Blue Waters

Blue Waters cabinets

Blue Waters is one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, with peak performance of more than 11.6 petaflops. This massive system is designed for the most data-, memory- and compute-intensive computational science and engineering work. Blue Waters is available to the national research community through the National Science Foundation's Petascale Computing Resource Allocation program, as well as to University of Illinois, industry, and educational projects.

For documentation and user information, visit the Blue Waters portal.
