About Lawrence
The Lawrence Supercomputer was acquired through a combination of state and federal funding: a FY16 SD Board of Regents Research And Development Innovation award, and National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation award OAC-1626516.
Lawrence runs the CentOS Linux operating system and is made up of over 2,000 CPU cores, including systems with 1.5TB of memory, GPU accelerators, and over 400TB of shared high-speed data storage accessible via a 56GB FDR Infiniband network. Lawrence has an estimated performance of over 60TFLOPS.
