Recently inaugurated at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputer Center (NWSC) in Cheyenne, WY, the Derecho supercomputer is a result of broad collaboration between and support from the state of Wyoming, the University of Wyoming, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Science Foundation (NSF), the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and HPE. Its capabilities will enable scientists and researchers to better model and understand earth science processes to develop environmental intelligence in support of key societal risk management areas against natural events such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods.
