Scientists at GE Global Research are using the multi-petaflop Titan supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to study the way that ice forms as water droplets come in contact with cold surfaces.
Nearly 25 student interns from middle school to graduate school got the opportunity this summer to work with OLCF staff and boost their computing skills.
With big science, comes big data. Large-scale simulations that drive molecular dynamics, climate, plasma physics, and other research on Titan generate enormous data sets.
ORNL researcher is simulating the magnetic direction and strength—known as the “magnetic moment”— of nickel atoms on one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers for science research, Titan.
Four out of six Association for Computing Machinery’s Gordon Bell Prize finalists used Titan to overcome complex computational challenges in their fields.
Ford researchers wanted to optimize engine bay airflow while considering a significant number of design parameters, a job that required supercomputing resources on a completely new scale.
Members of the USQCD converged on ORNL April 29–30 to discuss their exploration of the strong nuclear force and the computing resources that will keep that exploration moving forward.
University of Tennessee graduate student Sally Ellingson has picked up a prestigious Chemical Computing Group Excellence Award from the American Chemical Society.
For Procter & Gamble, access to Oak Ridge means it can do things it had never imagined before-like delve deeper into understanding how different compounds react with one another at a molecular level or how human hair and skin absorb those agents. (.pdf)
