Mira, the 10-petaflop IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer first booted up at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory in 2012, will be decommissioned at the end of this year.

Argonne has a long and distinguished history of research on lithium-ion batteries and, through emeritus Argonne Distinguished Fellow Michael Thackeray, a personal connection to a 2019 Nobel Prize winner, John Goodenough.
