Computing at ORNL

A team of researchers led by KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) was awarded the prestigious Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling!?? Using Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Frontier #supercomputer, the team developed an #exascale climate emulator that offers radically enhanced resolution—without the massive computational cost and data storage demands of traditional climate models. ????? With collaborators from NSF NCAR - The National Center for Atmospheric Research, University of Notre Dame, NVIDIA, Saint Louis University, and Lahore University of Management Sciences, this innovative work is setting new standards in climate science. ?? ?? ?? https://bit.ly/3Ojg8vd

This year’s Gordon Bell Prize in supercomputing was awarded to an outstanding team led by the University of Melbourne! ?? They’ve shattered records, using the Frontier #supercomputer to perform a #quantum molecular dynamics simulation 1,000 times larger and faster than anything that’s come before. ?? With collaboration from AMD, QDX, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the team calculated a system containing over 2 million correlated electrons—a monumental achievement in quantum simulations. ?? Congratulations to the team for this groundbreaking accomplishment that’s pushing the limits of science and technology! ?? https://bit.ly/4eGmI9J

What is a #supercomputer, and why does it matter? ?? Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Bronson Messer along with Satoshi Matsuoka of the RIKEN Center for Computational Science sat down with BBC to explain how these machines are game changers for researchers.??

? Goodbye, Summit! After six years of production service providing over 200 million node hours to scientists around the world, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Summit #supercomputer was decommissioned on Friday. Researchers gathered to say goodbye and reflect on the incredible computing power used to solve challenges in energy, #AI, human health, and other scientific areas that were out of reach. These breakthroughs helped shape our understanding of the universe and contribute to a better future.??

And the award goes to… ?? A big congratulations goes out to ORNL researchers after taking home the Best Paper award at the 6th Annual Workshop on Extreme-Scale Experiment-in-the-Loop Computing (XLOOP) held in conjunction with #SC24.?? This outstanding team—Steven Hahn, Philip Fackler, William F. Godoy, Ketan Maheshwari, Zachary Morgan, Andrei Savici, Christina Hoffmann, Pedro Valero-Lara, Jeffrey Vetter, and Rafael Ferreira da Silva—took home the award for their groundbreaking work in integrating ORNL’s cutting-edge computing testbeds at the Oak Ridge Computing Leadership Facility with the Spallation Neutron Source. Using Julia and the JACC.jl performance-portable package, their work opens the door to 10-100X improvements in data reduction workflows powered by high-performance CPU/GPU hardware. ?? ?? This incredible achievement is a major milestone for high-performance computing, and a perfect way to kick off SC24! Check out the full award announcement here?? https://bit.ly/4fT9LKM
