Ranger at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) is currently the largest production Constellation system. Ranger has 62,976 processor cores in 3,936 nodes and a peak performance of 580 TFlops. [1] [2] Ranger is currently the 6th most powerful TOP500 supercomputer. [3]
A number of smaller Constellation systems are deployed at other supercomputer centers, including the University of Oslo. [4]
