TechWeb: The reputation of Tennessee's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as a center of supercomputing is gaining recognition, not just because it received a $25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), but also because the applications to be carried out there are open and public. The supercomputing projects at the Energy Department's more famous supercomputing labs--including Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories--are mostly secret.
“We will have the most powerful system in the open,” said Dr. Jack Dongarra, a professor at the University of Tennessee's Computer Science Department, in an interview. Dongarra also carries the title of Distinguished Research Participant at the Oak Ridge lab. “We'll have the most powerful supercomputer outside the DOE.”
