[petsc-dev] Fwd: [Xlab] El Capitan CPU announcement

[Jeff Hammond]

You should read the CORAL RFPs. A guiding principle in both CORAL-1 and
CORAL-2 was for LLNL to buy the same machine as either Argonne or Oak Ridge.

In any case, you’ve got this precisely backwards. LLNL is getting a
supercomputer for the NNSA mission, as had been true of NNSA since the dawn
of the computing age. Look up UNIVAC-1.

What’s not guaranteed is that Office of Science gets big computers for
non-essential activities (science).  That’s an artifact of more recent
times and larger non-defense government spending.
