Biologists at UC Berkeley and the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) – a Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility – are using NERSC, the Office of Science’s primary supercomputing center, to identify a class of enzymes capable of editing out genes responsible for disease. This revolutionary work requires petaflops of computing power to sift […]

SC16 Invited Speaker Spotlight: Dr. Kristin A. Persson Presents “The Materials Project – A Google of Materials”
Short Introduction: This talk will focus on how The Materials Project (www.materialsproject.org) is harnessing the power of supercomputing together with state-of-the-art quantum mechanical theory to compute the properties of all known inorganic materials and beyond, design novel materials and offer the data for free to the community together with online analysis and design algorithms. Invited […]
SC15 Invited Talk-Dr. Laura Grigori Presents Fast and Robust Communication Avoiding Algorithms: Current Status and Future Prospects
Left: computation to communication ratio for the LU factorization with partial pivoting of a dense matrix on a model of exascale machine (ISC 2014). Right: preconditioned Krylov solver as used in the map making problem in astrophysics, results obtained on a Cray XE6 machine (Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014). Please click to enlarge. This talk will […]
