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.
SOAR
SOAR (Stateless, One-pass Adaptive Refinement) is a view-dependent mesh refinement and rendering algorithm.
CHAI
A new software model helps move million-line codes to various hardware architectures by automating data movement in unique ways.
MacPatch
MacPatch provides LLNL with enterprise system management for desktop and laptop computers running Mac OS X.
BLT
BLT software supports HPC software development with built-in CMake macros for external libraries, code health checks, and unit testing.
AIMS
AIMS (Analytics and Informatics Management Systems) develops integrated cyberinfrastructure for Earth system data discovery, analytics, simulations, and knowledge innovation.
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.
Interconnection Networks
LLNL's interconnection networks projects improve the communication and overall performance of parallel applications using interconnect topology-aware task mapping.
Parallel Software Development Tools
Users need tools that address bottlenecks, work with programming models, provide automatic analysis, and overcome the complexities and changing demands of exascale architectures.
Umpire
Umpire is a resource management library that allows the discovery, provision, and management of memory on next-generation architectures.
HYPRE
The hypre library's comprehensive suite of scalable parallel linear solvers makes large-scale scientific simulations possible by solving problems faster.
FGPU
FGPU provides code examples that port FORTRAN codes to run on IBM OpenPOWER platforms like LLNL's Sierra supercomputer.
Alkemi
Simulation workflows for ALE methods often require a manual tuning process. We are developing novel predictive analytics for simulations and an infrastructure for integration of analytics.
VPC
Researchers develop innovative data representations and algorithms to provide faster, more efficient ways to preserve information encoded in data.
TEIMS
TEIMS manages collaborative tasks, site characterization, risk assessment, decision support, compliance monitoring, and regulatory reporting for the Environmental Restoration Department.
ADAPD
ADAPD integrates expertise from DOE national labs to analyze growing global data streams and traditional intelligence data, enabling early warning of nuclear proliferation activities.
Maestro Workflow Conductor
The Maestro Workflow Conductor is a lightweight, open-source Python tool that can launch multi-step software simulation workflows in a clear, concise, consistent, and repeatable manner.
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.
fpzip
fpzip is a library for lossless or lossy compression of multidimensional floating-point arrays. It was primarily designed for lossless compression.
ASC Proxy Apps
Proxy apps serve as specific targets for testing and simulation without the time, effort, and expertise that porting or changing most production codes would require.
StarSapphire
StarSapphire is a collection of scientific data mining projects focusing on the analysis of data from scientific simulations, observations, and experiments.
BUILD
BUILD tackles the complexities of HPC software integration with dependency compatibility models, binary analysis tools, efficient logic solvers, and configuration optimization techniques.
Axom
Supported by the Advanced Simulation and Computing program, Axom focuses on developing software infrastructure components that can be shared by HPC apps running on different platforms.
RAJA Portability Suite
A Livermore-developed programming approach helps software to run on different platforms without major disruption to the source code.
