The ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge projects that make up roughly 30% of the time awarded on ALCF supercomputers each year go to support “high-risk, high-payoff” simulations of interest to the DOE. Stanford’s Parviz Moin used his 60 million hour award…
At a special two-day symposium last month, Argonne invited back many of the visionaries who in some way contributed to the lab’s 30 years in advancing parallel computing and computational science. Most if not all of these individuals have made…
From the time I was an undergraduate physics major, I’ve also been interested in the creative activities intrinsic to art and design fields. Critique, conceptualization, and iteration are all useful practices for developing new ways of seeing reality. Good artists…
Earlier this month, University of Texas’s Robert Moser initiated the first full-scale production run on Mira, the ALCF’s new 10-petaflops system. Moser is examining the complex physics of a specific region of wall-bounded turbulence, which is central to understanding the…
Research teams from around the world are preparing to use Mira, Argonne’s new petaflops supercomputer, to tackle the most challenging problems in science and engineering today. What happens when a star explodes? Can we find alternative fuel sources? How hot…
Mira will provide billions more processor-hours per year to the scientists, engineers, and researchers who use it to run complex simulations of everything from nuclear reactors to blood vessels through allocations awarded through INCITE, ALCC and Director’s Discretionary programs. [Photo…
