Perlmutter(also known asNERSC-9) is asupercomputerdelivered to theNational Energy Research Scientific Computing Centerof theUnited States Department of Energyas the successor toCori.[2]It is being built byCrayand is based on their Shasta architecture which utilizes Zen 3 basedAMD EpycCPUs ( "Milan" ) andNvidia TeslaGPUs. Its intended use-cases are nuclear fusion simulations, climate projections, and material and biological research.[3]Phase 1, completed May 27, 2022,[4]reached 70.9PFLOPSof processing power.[5]
