NASA’s innovative modular approach to supercomputing expands the power of the NASA Advanced Supercomputing Facility at Ames. The modular facility drastically reduces the amount of electricity and water typically needed to cool traditional supercomputing facilities. A new supercomputer, named Aitken, is housed in the first module of the facility, which has the potential to expand to 16 modules for computing and data storage. Aitken will give researchers the ability to run thousands of complex simulations more quickly as they continue to support agency missions and the Artemis program.
