USGS McKinley Supercomputer

Designed for large scale simulations and analytics, McKinley has the same environment as many of the largest supercomputers (just smaller node count).

Workloads include:

• Large scale simulations and models
• Large scale inversions, analytics
• Massive Machine Learning inference runs

McKinley Specifications:

• 232 compute nodes
• 9280 CPU cores
• 18,560 Hyperthreads
• 2 x 18 Core Intel Broadwell 6148 2.1Ghz CPUs
• 10Gbps ethernet adapter
• 85 Gb/s Aries high speed network 
• 48TB Usable, ~46GB/s peak I/O performance available to all nodes

In accordance with EO 14172, Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness and SO 3424 - Mount McKinley and Landmarks Honoring the Alaskan People, all USGS publications moving forward will reinstate the name Mount McKinley. Therefore, moving forward, the USGS supercomputer Denali will be referenced as McKinley. Per USGS practice, historical publications and media files will retain the name Denali as it was called at the time of initial publication.
