Supercomputing History
Since its construction in 1987, the NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division has housed and operated some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world. Many of these computers include testbed systems built to test new architecture, hardware, or networking set-ups that might be utilized on a larger scale. Peak performance is shown in Floating Point Operations Per Second (FLOPS).

Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
In May 2013, the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory was established as part of a joint research project between NASA, Google Research, and the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to assess the potential of quantum computers to perform calculations that are difficult or impossible using conventional supercomputers in a realistic timeframe and to study how quantum computing might advance machine learning. The project is centered around a 512-qubit D-Wave Two system installed at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility.
