High-performance computing (HPC) has been an indispensable research tool for accessing physical realms difficult, or impossible, to achieve with experiment alone. For several decades, the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Science has deployed sophisticated HPC systems for solving the nation’s most pressing grand challenge problems in energy, climate change, and human health[1]. In addition, […]| Exascale Computing Project
A post-ECP podcast interview (published August 21, 2024) The @HPCpodcast interviewed Dr. Michael Heroux to discuss HPC software in general and, in particular, his work as the Exascale Computing Project’s director of software technologies, including code used by the first two American exascale-class supercomputers, Frontier and Aurora.

The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is the world’s first hard X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facility, using X-rays to take snapshots of atoms and molecules at a specific moment in time. When XFEL beams scatter off a target, they produce a diffraction pattern—a pattern of light of various […]| Exascale Computing Project
Beyond what the eye can see lies a vast and interconnected network of molecules and their constituent atomic particles—the building blocks of all physical matter. Atomic and molecular interactions play out in choreographed moves that dictate the structure and properties of everything on Earth, from natural materials such as diamond and iron to manufactured materials […]| Exascale Computing Project
NASA supercomputers have helped several Mars landers survive the nerve-racking seven minutes of terror. During this hair-raising interval, a lander enters the Martian atmosphere and needs to automatically execute many crucial actions in precise order faster than radio signals can direct them from Earth. These tasks and other outer-space objectives benefit from NASA working […]| Exascale Computing Project
Cross-agency cooperation between Department of Energy laboratories and National Cancer Institute researchers helps take the guesswork out of cancer treatments. What happens when Department of Energy (DOE) researchers join forces with chemists and biologists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). They use the most advanced high-performance computers to study cancer at the molecular, cellular and […]| Exascale Computing Project
Last November, during the SC23 conference held in Denver, Colorado, industry leaders from many organizations reflected on successful deployments of the Exascale Computing Project’s (ECP’s) Extreme-Scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S). In particular, ECP Industry and Agency Council (IAC) representatives, participating on an industry spokesperson panel, highlighted how E4S deployments at Pratt & Whitney, ExxonMobil, TAE […]| Exascale Computing Project
The Extreme-Scale Scientific Software Stack (E4S) version 24.02 incorporates new AI/ML libraries and expands GPU support to include the NVIDIA Grace and Grace Hopper architectures. E4S is a community effort to provide open-source software packages for developing, deploying, and running scientific applications on high-performance computing (HPC) and AI resources and cloud platforms. The version 24.02 […]| Exascale Computing Project
Over the course of its seven-year duration, the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has developed a capable high-performance computing (HPC) ecosystem, bringing together mission-critical applications, an integrated software stack, and hardware technology advances to make manifest and optimize the latest, most powerful supercomputers on Earth. Frontier, DOE’s first exascale system to come […]| Exascale Computing Project
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company Goodyear’s scientists worked with the Department of Energy (DOE) Exascale Computing Project (ECP) over the past several years as a member of the ECP’s Industry and Agency Advisory Council.| Exascale Computing Project
Nuclear fusion processes similar to the sun’s have the potential to transform energy production on Earth. At least that’s the goal of California-based TAE Technologies, which plans to build the world’s first prototype hydrogen-boron fusion power plant, called Da Vinci, in the early 2030s. With Da Vinci, TAE’s seventh-generation test machine, the company seeks to […]| Exascale Computing Project
The Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has accelerated the delivery of a capable exascale computing ecosystem to provide breakthrough solutions for the nation’s most critical challenges. But the impacts of the project go beyond technology. The ECP has also provided tremendous opportunities for young researchers to develop knowledge and relationships within the high-performance computing (HPC) community […]| Exascale Computing Project
According to a recent report by NOAA, the US has confirmed a total of 23 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in 2023 alone—the most events on record during a calendar year. Since 1980, the overall total cost of these billion-dollar weather disasters (including CPI adjustments to 2023) is $2.615 trillion. These numbers tell only part of the […]| Exascale Computing Project
Nearly 120 years ago, the great “San Francisco” earthquake of 1906 provided a stark and sobering view of the havoc that can be caused by the sudden and violent movement of Earth’s tectonic plates. According to USGS, the rupture along the San Andreas fault extended 296 miles (447 kilometers) and shook so violently that the motion […]| Exascale Computing Project
