"the DOE is planning to use the two systems to connect the compute power of its laboratories at Los Alamos, Sandia and Livermore. This program will focus on various complex HPC simulations, including weapons research for the federal government. The system will also become part of the DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration Stockpile Stewardship program, which safeguards the nation’s nuclear weapons."
