Our research projects vary in size, scope, and duration, but they share a focus on developing tools and methods that help LLNL deliver on its missions to the nation and, more broadly, advance the state of the art in scientific HPC. Projects are organized here in three ways: Active projects are those currently funded and regularly updated. Legacy projects are no longer actively developed. The A-Z option sorts all projects alphabetically, both active and legacy.
Phase-Field Modeling
Based on a discretization and time-stepping algorithm, these equations include a local order parameter, a quaternion representation of local orientation, and species composition.
Preparing Codes for Exascale
LLNL's Advanced Simulation Computing program formed the Advanced Architecture and Portability Specialists team to help LLNL code teams identify and implement optimal porting strategies.
PRUNERS
The PRUNERS Toolset offers four novel debugging and testing tools to assist programmers with detecting, remediating, and preventing errors in a coordinated manner.
PSUADE
The flourishing of simulation-based scientific discovery has also resulted in the emergence of the UQ discipline, which is essential for validating and verifying computer models.
P^nMPI
PnMPI is a thin, low-overhead wrapper library that is automatically generated from mpi.h file and that can be linked by default.
Qbox
LLNL’s version of Qbox, a first-principles molecular dynamics code, will let researchers accurately calculate bigger systems on supercomputers.
Quandary
Quandary is an open-source C++ package for optimal control of quantum systems on classical high performance computing platforms.
Quantum Molecular Dynamics
A new algorithm for use with first-principles molecular dynamics codes enables the number of atoms simulated to be proportional to the number of processors available.
RADIUSS
The RADIUSS project aims to lower cost and improve agility by encouraging adoption of our core open-source software products for use in institutional applications.
RAJA Portability Suite
A Livermore-developed programming approach helps software to run on different platforms without major disruption to the source code.
ROSE Compiler
ROSE, an open-source project maintained by Livermore researchers, provides easy access to complex, automated compiler technology and assistance.
SAMRAI
The SAMRAI library is the code base in CASC for exploring application, numerical, parallel computing, and software issues associated with structured adaptive mesh refinement.
Sapphire
Drawing from data mining, image and video processing, statistics, and pattern recognition, these computational tools improve the way scientists extract useful information from data.
SCR
With SCR, jobs run more efficiently, recover more work upon failure, and reduce load on critical shared resources.
SDRC
The Software Development Resource Center connects developers across LLNL through best practices in software tools, development methodologies, DevOps, security compliance, and more.
Serpentine Wave Propagation
These methods for solving hyperbolic wave propagation problems allow for complex geometries, realistic boundary and interface conditions, and arbitrary heterogeneous material properties.
SOAR
SOAR (Stateless, One-pass Adaptive Refinement) is a view-dependent mesh refinement and rendering algorithm.
Spack
Livermore builds an open-source community around its award-winning HPC package manager.
Sphinx
Sphinx, an integrated parallel microbenchmark suite, consists of a harness for running performance tests and extensive tests of MPI, Pthreads and OpenMP.
Spindle
Spindle improves the library-loading performance of dynamically linked HPC applications by plugging into the system’s dynamic linker and intercepting its file operations.
StarSapphire
StarSapphire is a collection of scientific data mining projects focusing on the analysis of data from scientific simulations, observations, and experiments.
STAT
LLNL’s Stack Trace Analysis Tool helps users quickly identify errors in code running on today’s largest machines.
SUNDIALS
This project solves initial value problems for ODE systems, sensitivity analysis capabilities, additive Runge-Kutta methods, DAE systems, and nonlinear algebraic systems.
TEIMS
TEIMS manages collaborative tasks, site characterization, risk assessment, decision support, compliance monitoring, and regulatory reporting for the Environmental Restoration Department.
