IBM's Sequoia supercomputer headed the latest Top500 list of the world's fastest supercomputers. The twice-yearly roster was released at the 2012 International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg, Germany, in June. Delivered to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2011, Sequoia is scheduled for operational deployment this year. It's going to be used to manage the United States' nuclear weapons stockpile by enabling uncertainty quantification calculations to help extend the life of aging weapons systems.
