Cielo was a United States supercomputer located at Los Alamos National Laboratory.[3] Built by Cray Inc, the computer was part of the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program to maintain the United States nuclear stockpile.
From 31 March 2013, with the retirement of IBM Roadrunner, it took over as their front line computer.[2] As of June 2014[update], it is ranked as number 32 on the TOP500. As of 29 September 2016[update], it has been decommissioned and powered down permanently.[citation needed] Cielo was succeeded by Trinity.
