The current award is to The University of Texas at Austin to deploy and support Stampede, a HPC Linux cluster with an initial peak performance of 10 petaflops. The system will have 6,400 Dell Stallion servers, with the servers connected by FDR Infiniband. Each server will have dual processors based on Intel?s forthcoming Sandy Bridge architecture with 32 GB of memory. The system will also include a pre-release version of Intel's forthcoming "Knights Corner" co-processors based on the Intel® Many Integrated Core ( Intel® MIC) Architecture: highly parallel co-processors that utilize the x86 instruction set. Stampede will also offer 128 next-generation NVIDIA GPUs for remote visualization, 16 nodes with 1TB of shared memory for large data analysis, and a high-performance file system with 14 petabytes of storage for data-intensive computing. All components will be integrated with a FDR InfiniBand network for extreme scalability. Altogether, Stampede will have a peak performance of over 10 petaflops and over 250 terabytes of memory. Second generation co-processors based on the Intel® MIC Architecture will be added when they become available, increasing Stampede's peak performance to at least 15 petaflops. This national resource will be available in early 2013 through the NSF Cyberinfrastructure to enable basic research in science and engineering, and will be operated and supported for four years. The project will advance methods for petascale computing including Intel® MIC Architecture performance optimization, and will develop new expertise in data-intensive computing. The award will enable 1000+ projects in computational and data-driven science and engineering projects to advance knowledge in their fields.

目前的奖项授予德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校，用于部署和支持 Stampede，这是一个初始峰值性能为 10 petaflops 的 HPC Linux 集群。 该系统将拥有 6,400 台 Dell Stallion 服务器，这些服务器通过 FDR Infiniband 连接。每台服务器都将配备基于英特尔即将推出的 Sandy Bridge 架构的双处理器和 32 GB 内存。该系统还将包括基于英特尔®众集成核心（英特尔® MIC）架构的英特尔即将推出的“Knights Corner”协处理器的预发布版本：利用 x86 指令集的高度并行协处理器。 Stampede 还将提供 128 个用于远程可视化的下一代 NVIDIA GPU、用于大数据分析的具有 1TB 共享内存的 16 个节点，以及用于数据密集型计算的具有 14 PB 存储空间的高性能文件系统。所有组件都将与 FDR InfiniBand 网络集成，以实现极高的可扩展性。总之，Stampede 将拥有超过 10 petaflops 的峰值性能和超过 250 TB 的内存。基于英特尔® MIC 架构的第二代协处理器将在上市后添加，从而将 Stampede 的峰值性能提高到至少 15 petaflops。该国家资源将于 2013 年初通过 NSF 网络基础设施提供，以支持科学和工程方面的基础研究，并将运行和支持四年。该项目将推进千万亿级计算的方法，包括英特尔® MIC 架构性能优化，并将开发数据密集型计算方面的新专业知识。该奖项将使计算和数据驱动的科学与工程项目中的 1000 多个项目能够推进各自领域的知识。
