About the Joule 2.0 Supercomputer
The Joule 2.0 Supercomputer is up and running at the Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Morgantown, West Virginia. One of the world’s fastest, most energy-efficient supercomputers, it is intended to help energy researchers discover new materials, optimize designs, and better predict operational characteristics. Housed at NETL’s Simulation-Based Engineering User Center, the supercomputer is a 5.7 PFlops (one quadrillion floating-point operations per second) computer that enables the simulation of phenomena that are difficult or impossible to measure, such as coal jet penetration into a gasifier. With capabilities for running modelling tools…
