Lunch & Learn: Optimizing fusion particle codes for massively parallel computers

Posted on November 5, 2010 by Jon Edwards

The last decade has wit­nessed a rapid emer­gence of larger and faster com­put­ing sys­tems in the US. Mas­sively par­al­lel machines have gone main­stream and are now the tool of choice for large sci­en­tific sim­u­la­tions. Keep­ing up with the con­tin­u­ously evolv­ing … Con­tinue read­ing →

Lunch & Learn: Simulations at the petascale and beyond for fusion energy sciences with William Tang

Posted on March 10, 2010 by Jon Edwards

Imag­ine har­ness­ing the power of the sun within a mag­netic bot­tle. Unlike hydro­gen bombs, which are essen­tially uncon­trolled fusion reac­tions, sci­en­tists for decades have been pur­su­ing the peace­ful chal­lenge of safely har­ness­ing fusion energy, a poten­tially effi­cient and envi­ron­men­tally attrac­tive … Con­tinue read­ing →
