That was the beginning of my transition to computational work.” As a University of Pennsylvania undergraduate studying ...

The next supercomputer frontier presents a journey into the unknown unlike any other, Tzanio Kolev says. Exascale computers, the first of which are expected to begin operation in 2021, will perform a ...

Argonne’s Joe Insley combines art and computer science to build intricate images and animations from supercomputer simulations. This video includes a collage of images and a supernova simulation ...

Environmental scientist Marianne Cowherd grew up in Michigan and loved snow. “My favorite thing was having school cancelled and going sledding,” she says. “But I never thought of snow as a water ...

Because most cancers are difficult to treat, scientists have long sought the disease’s Achilles’ heel. In some cases, identifying an errant protein or the biological pathway it uses to damage cells ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory models the blood-brain barrier to find ways for drugs to reach their target. Stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and many other medical conditions that attack the brain ...

High-performance computing (HPC) is only as valuable as the science it produces. To that end, a National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) project at Lawrence Berkeley National ...

A Livermore team takes a stab, atom-by-atom, at an 80-year-old controversy over a metal-shaping property called crystal plasticity. A medieval blacksmith making a sword knew that pounding on iron ...

A Montana State fellow charts a path from physics and modeling to a form of pure math called category theory. Alex Ballow works as a translator, not of human tongues but of the languages of math and ...

The AnalyzeThis system deals with the rush of huge data-analysis orders typical in scientific computing. High-performance computing (HPC) systems are like a burgeoning restaurant that can’t widen its ...

PNNL team views 'undervolting' — turning down the power supplied to processors — as a way to make exascale computing feasible. If supercomputing is to reach its next milestone – exascale, or the ...
