Today GCS in Germany announced that their new Hornet supercomputer at HLRS is ready for extreme-scale computing challenges. "To test its mettle, Hornet successfully completed six "XXL-projects" from computationally demanding scientific fields such as planetary research, climatology, environmental chemistry, and aerospace. All six XXL Projects utilized all of Hornet's available 94,646 compute cores--results that more than satisfied the HLRS HPC experts and scientific users."
