Endeavour Supercomputer
Endeavour is a shared-memory system supporting applications that need access to large cache-coherent, global shared-memory capabilities in a single system image (SSI). First deployed in 2013, the system is named in honor of the Space Shuttle Endeavour, the last orbiter built during NASA’s Space Shuttle Program. In 2021, the system was upgraded with HPE Superdome Flex servers containing Intel Xeon “Cascade Lake” processors.
