The RFI says responses will \u201cinform one or more DOE system acquisition RFPs, which will describe requirements for system deliveries in the 2025\u20132030 timeframe.\u201d This could include the successor to Frontier (aka OLCF-6), the successor to Aurora (aka ALCF-5), the successor to Crossroads (aka ATS-5), the successor to El Capitan (aka ATS-6) as well as a future NERSC system (possibly NERSC-11). Note that of the \u201cpredecessor systems,\u201d only Frontier has been installed so far.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an excerpt from the RFI:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ranjan KC shared a link to the group: Ray Kurzweil.
