The newest supercomputer at the National Renewable Energy Lab will be water-cooled by HP using Intel's Xeon Phi massively parallel processors. As the Department of Energy (DoE) showcase for renewable energy, NREL's new $10 million supercomputer was designed in collaboration with Intel and HP to be the world's first peta-scale supercomputer to use warm-water liquid cooling: R.
