The National Energy Research Supercomputer Center (NERSC) provides Energy Research investigators with about 22 gigaFLOPS of classical vector-processor supercomputer capacity with a 4-processor CRAY-2, an 8-processor CRAY-2, and a 16-processor 256 megaword C-90. The NERSC Central File System has about 18 terabytes of mass storage. The ESnet backbone has a peak bandwidth of 45 megabits/sec. Most local sites have workstations capable of 10-50 megaFLOPS on local area networks with bandwidths of 10-20 megabits/sec without resource sharing or scheduling. A few sites are more advanced and have resource sharing, such as FSU/SCRI, and a few with substantial compute servers as well, such as ANL and SNL, and even a discipline focus with substantial site/program support, such as PNNL and LANL. Today the only High Performance Computing Research Center with a cutting-edge machine, the 2000-node Intel Paragon, is at ORNL. Virtual reality research facilities exist at ANL and information infrastructural elements are under development at several sites.
