Spectra Clears Sandia's Supercomputer Acceptance. The Fall Mission-Code Gate Is the Real Test.

NextSilicon's Maverick-2 dataflow accelerator has met Sandia's Vanguard system-acceptance requirements on HPCG, LAMMPS, and SPARTA. The harder question comes this fall, when Sandia decides whether to move Spectra toward more demanding, mission-like ASC supercomputing workloads.
