National Center for Computational Sciences
(www.nccs.gov)
NCCS hosts the Cray “Jaguar” supercomputer, the
most powerful system in the world for open scientific
use. Jaguar is actually two systems, with a combined
peak theoretical performance of 1.64 petaflops, or
1.64 quadrillion floating point operations per second.
NCCS is also home to several smaller computers.
Shared Research Equipment User Facility
(www.ms.ornl.gov/share)
SHaRE provides access to a suite of advanced instruments
and expert staff scientists for the micrometerto-nanometer-scale
characterization of materials
in several focused research areas: transmission and
scanning electron microscopy, atom probe tomography,
x-ray photoelectron spectrometry, and dualbeam
focused ion beam and ultramicrotomy specimen
preparation and support.
High Temperature Materials Laboratory
(www.html.ornl.gov)
HTML helps solve materials problems that limit the
efficiency and reliability of automotive systems. The
center’s instruments can characterize the structural,
chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of materials
at the nanoscale and microscale over a wide
range of temperatures and pressures.
