Berkeley Lab Takes Major Step Toward Doudna with Delivery of Early Access System, Cech The road to NERSC’s Doudna supercomputer reached a key milestone with the delivery of the Early Access System (EAS), to be known as Cech.

Advancing quantum computing takes powerful infrastructure.

A new component of Doudna, part of Berkeley Lab’s NERSC-10 system, is helping lay groundwork for future quantum computing by connecting #HPC with emerging #quantum technologies.
