Exascale’s New Frontier: E3SM-MMF

PI: Mark Taylor, Sandia National Laboratories In 2016, the Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP) set out to develop advanced software for the arrival of exascale-class supercomputers capable of a quintillion (1018) or more calculations per second. That meant rethinking, reinventing, and optimizing dozens of scientific applications and software…

Summit Study Fathoms Troubled Waters of Ocean Turbulence

Simulations performed on the Summit supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory revealed new insights into the role of turbulence in mixing fluids and could open new possibilities for projecting climate change and studying fluid dynamics. The study, published in the Journal of Turbulence, used Summit to…
