Perlmutter (also known as NERSC-9) is a supercomputer delivered to the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center of the United States Department of Energy as the successor to Cori.[2] It is being built by Cray and is based on their Shasta architecture which utilizes Zen 3 based AMD Epyc CPUs ("Milan") and next-generation Nvidia Tesla GPUs. Its intended use-cases are nuclear fusion simulations, climate projections and material and biological research.[3] Phase 1, completed 27 May 2022,[4] reached 70.9 PFLOPS of processing power.[5]

It is named in honour of Nobel prize winner Saul Perlmutter.[2]
