This is the wiki for the High Speed Systems Division of the Integrated Computation and Communications Department of the Computation Directorate at [http://www.llnl.gov Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory]. The purpose of the wiki is to capture the corporate knowledge of the division in a peer-editiable serchable form in an attmpt to document the rapidly changing computational environment, where systems are installed, brought to General Availability, age, and are replaced over the span of only a few years. Many of the systems here in the Division are current top 10 machines in the [http://www.top500.org Top 500] Supercomputers list, with [http://www.llnl.gov/asc/computing_resources/bluegenel/ BlueGene/L] in the number 1 position and [http://www.llnl.gov/asc/computing_resources/purple/ ASC Purple] in the number 4 position, and 8 other systems at various positions.

The wiki was launched originally on March 9, 2006 as a pilot project and then migrated to it's current home, a 1U beginning on June 14, 2006 completed on July 10, 2006.
The wiki was launched originally on March 9, 2006 as a pilot project and then migrated to it's current home, a 1U [http://www.supermicro.com/ Supermicro] dual dual-core 3.06GHz Xeon CPU with 4gb DDR2 memory and dual-redundant hot-swappable 72gb HDD, beginning on June 14, 2006 and completed on July 10, 2006. The server was subsequently renamed 'gasta' which is Irish for 'quick'.
