The Mexican government will build a supercomputer with a processing capacity seven times greater than the current most powerful computer in Latin America, officials responsible for the project said Wednesday.

The National Labs are already home to massive supercomputers, including the three most powerful, according to the TOP500 list of the world’s supercomputers, released every six months by top500.org External link.

Using large-scale simulations on supercomputers, the team examined how heatwaves could evolve over the next 1,000 years once global emissions finally reach net zero.

Additional computing resources were provided by the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, a DOE Office of Science User Facility, and by the Hyak supercomputer system at the University of Washington.

Using the strength of one of the fastest supercomputers on the planet, scientists have created one of the most comprehensive and biologically realistic animal brain simulations ever developed.
