The Summit supercomputer, housed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), has cemented its place in scientific history through its contribution to one of the most comprehensive genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ever undertaken. This landmark research leveraged the computational power of Summit to analyze the genetic data of over 635,000 U.S. Army veterans, significantly advancing our understanding of the genetic basis of diseases and traits across diverse populations. As Summit approaches its decommissioning, this study marks another milestone in its illustrious career of scientific breakthroughs.
