Argonne National Laboratory
The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility began operation in 2006 to coincide with the award of the 2006 INCITE program allocations.  For 2008 Incite projects, two machines were utilized – Surveyor, an IBM Blue Gene/P system with 1,024 quad-core nodes (4,096 processors) and 2 terabytes of memory with a peak performance of 13.9 teraflops and BGL, an IBM BlueGene/L system with 1,024 dual-core nodes (2,048 processors) and 500 gigabytes of memory with a peak performance of 5.7 teraflops.  Both of these machines will be phased out in 2008 and Intrepid, an IBM Blue Gene/P system with 8,196 quad-core compute nodes (32,768 processors) and 16 terabytes of memory with a peak performance of 111 teraflops, will be utilized for 2009 INCITE projects.  For additional information follow this link:

Oak Ridge National Laboratory
The Cray supercomputers at the Leadership Computing Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory first came online in 2005 and have supported INCITE since 2006.  In 2009, approximately 80% of the LCF processor-hours will be allocated to INCITE projects. Jaguar, the Cray XT4, has 7,832 processor nodes.  Each node is comprised of a 2.1 GHz quad-core AMD Opteron processor and 8 GB of memory.  The system provides an aggregate peak performance of 250 teraflops with a total of 62 terabytes of memory.  For additional information about Jaguar, see the following link: http://www.nccs.gov/computing-resources/jaguar/

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
The National Energy Research Scientific Computing (NERSC) Center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has provided computing and storage resources for INCITE projects since the program was launched in 2003.  For 2009, NERSC is allocating two systems: Franklin and Bassi.  Franklin is a 19,496-processor Cray XT4 with a theoretical peak speed of more than 100 teraflops.  Installation began in 2006 and the full system went into production service in late 2007.  Bassi is an IBM POWER 5 system with 888 processors and a peak performance of 7.4 teraflops.  To provide archival data storage, NERSC operates a High Performance Storage System (HPSS) with a current capacity of 22 PetaBytes.  In 2009 NERSC will again provide over 9 million processor hours to the INCITE program.  For additional information, see the following link:

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
The Molecular Science Computing Facility (MSCF) will provide resources from a new Hewlett-Packard Linux-based computer (Chinook) for production computing in 2009.  The new HP supercomputer has 2,310 compute nodes with quad-core AMD processors, giving it a theoretical peak performance of 163 TeraFlop/s and 37 TB of memory.  About 5 percent of the compute cycles, or 950,000 processor hours, will be available to the INCITE program in 2009.  For additional information see the following link: http://mscf.emsl.pnl.gov
