Cheyenne, Wyoming supercomputer construction near completion

Five years after the National Center for Atmospheric Research picked Cheyenne for its top-of-the-line supercomputing facility, workers have started moving in the massive computers this week.

NCAR officials hope to have the 1.5-petaflop computer – meaning it can perform 1 1/2 quadrillion, or 1,500,000,000,000,000, computer operations per second – operational by this fall.
