Oak Ridge is one of our national labs, just like Los Alamos, Lawrence-Livermore, etc. They always strive to "push the envelope" although this world of "clusters" is not as interesting as the old days of "real super-computers"... They have applications that run for months at a time. And they'd like to increase the size of the data but that would push the applications into years of run-time. Faster processing demands is what is driving this. But anyone could find that out by looking around or asking...
