Making room for the world’s first exascale supercomputer took some supersized renovations.

Frontier still holds the title of world’s fastest supercomputer after new TOP500 lists came out in November 2022, June 2023, and this week, and OLCF engineers expect further tuning to coax even faster speeds from its processors. But the team that broke the exascale barrier knows that distinction can’t last forever.

Argonne National Laboratory leads the Fast Reactor Program, which provides key support to industry in demonstrating clean, green advanced nuclear reactor technologies.

Kevin Brown, a Walter Massey Fellow at Argonne National Laboratory, talks about the fellowship and his career focused on optimizing supercomputers. 

A new international consortium brings together teams of researchers to create trustworthy and reliable generative AI models to address critical scientific and engineering challenges.

The use of disciplines in pure mathematics can increase the reliability and explainability of machine learning models that “transcend human intuition,” according to PNNL scientists.

Jefferson Lab and Old Dominion University are launching a unique joint institute that will leverage the lab’s specialties in data science and computing in an effort to tackle the most pressing problems and disparities at the intersection of health and the environment in Hampton Roads. 

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have been leading a project to understand how a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, could threaten power plants.
