One of the fastest supercomputers in the world will power the Department of Energy’s (DoE) Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), which has chosen the Intel many-integrated core (MIC) architecture with Xeon Phi coprocessors for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The Lab's current AMD-powered supercomputer using quad-core Opteron processors will make way for Intel's MIC with 60+ cores per Xeon Phi coprocessor chip, thereby boosting its performance into one of the Top20 supercomputer slots worldwide: R.
