    • Abstract:
      Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont is taking a big step toward its goal of becoming the first place in the world to build a superfast computer. It's about to install a test system that will be used to figure out how to write code in a way that will best use the new $500 million machine, called Aurora, that will be capable of doing 1 billion-billion calculations per second, or twice as fast as the top supercomputers out there today.
