Computing at ORNL

💥🔬 Nuclear fission—where an atom's nucleus splits and releases energy—might seem fully understood, but there are still mysteries to uncover. Researchers from the University of Washington and Los Alamos National Laboratory used the Summit #supercomputer to dive into one of fission’s biggest enigmas. What exactly happens when the nucleus undergoes "neck rupture" as it splits in two?✨ ➡️ https://bit.ly/4feOLhc #NuclearScienceWeek

Oak Ridge National Lab continues to lead the way in advancing AI technology.   Hosted by North Carolina State University, the fourth annual ORNL Core Universities AI Workshop brought together the lab’s core university partners, including Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, NC State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia and Virginia Tech. 75 scientists, professors and academic researchers presented cutting-edge research and explored collaboration opportunities, all with the goal of advancing AI’s role in scientific discovery.   ORNL’s Shaun Gleason delivered the opening remarks for this year’s event, with fellow lab researchers Forrest Hoffman, Robert Patton and Prasanna Date providing keynote presentations and invited talks.   Next year’s event, AI-CORE'25, will be co-organized by ORNL, UTK, and Vanderbilt, and held in Knoxville in October 2025.

🌟 Exciting changes are here for OLCF users! As the High Performance Storage System is set to be decommissioned in early 2025 after decades of service, users are discovering the power of Kronos. Users are noticing how easy and efficient data storage can be with this new system. But don’t wait to make the move! It’s crucial for OLCF computing system users to act quickly and start transferring their data now. By handling the transfer sooner rather than later, you'll have ample time to address any potential issues that may arise. More details ➡️ https://bit.ly/4dZvRdh

Researchers led by the University of Melbourne have been nominated for the Association for Computing Machinery’s 2024 Gordon Bell Prize in supercomputing for conducting a quantum molecular dynamics simulation 1,000 times greater in size and speed than any previous simulation of its kind. The team also includes researchers from AMD, QDX and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Using Frontier, the world’s most powerful supercomputer, the team calculated a system containing more than 2 million correlated electrons. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3A8jtcS

💫 Big science generates big data. But what happens when researchers produce more data than they can process? This is becoming a problem for research facilities that generate so much data that only supercomputers can tackle the volume. To bridge the gap between experimental facilities and supercomputers, experts from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are teaming up with other U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science national laboratories to build a new data streaming pipeline. The pipeline will allow researchers to send their data to the nation’s leading computing centers for analysis in real time even as their experiments are taking place. ➡️ https://bit.ly/3A5fP3x

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) is now seeking research proposals for access to supercomputers at the ALCF, OLCF, and NERSC. Pre-proposals are due November 11, 2024. Open to researchers from universities, industry, and government agencies, the ALCC program supports HPC projects with an emphasis on high-risk, high-payoff scientific campaigns in areas directly related to the DOE mission, that respond to national emergencies, or that broaden the community of researchers capable of using leadership computing resources.
