A unique laser optic design and two novel open-source software projects bring the Laboratory’s R&D 100 awards total to 182.

Organizers praised Falcone's “extraordinary leadership in driving research directions to advance science and technology at one of America's most vital research institutions.”

Among the honorees was the Exascale Computing Project leadership team, which successfully delivered the 7-year, $1.8 billion collaboration among six DOE national laboratories.

This is the sixth recognition the Laboratory has earned in Glassdoor’s award program since its inception in 2009.

SC24, held recently in Atlanta, was a landmark event, setting new records and demonstrating LLNL's unparalleled contributions to HPC innovation and impact.

Two teams led by LLNL computer scientists won Editor’s Awards from HPCwire, a leading high performance computing industry publication, at the 2024 Supercomputing Conference in Atlanta.

LLNL is participating in the 36th annual Supercomputing Conference (SC24) in Atlanta on November 17–22, 2024.

Among them is Shusen Liu, a computer scientist in the Machine Intelligence Group in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing.

The Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM) Special Interest Group on High Performance Computing (SIGHPC) has awarded Kathryn Mohror with its prestigious Emerging Woman Leader in Technical Computing (EWLTC) Award.

An optics element team and two open-source software teams (UMap and UnifyFS) are LLNL's winners of this year's awards.

Developed by LLNL, Colorado, and Purdue researchers, a new approach eases the implementation of curved geometries into computing simulations.

Two LLNL teams have come up with ingenious solutions to a few of the more vexing difficulties. For their efforts, they’ve won awards coveted by scientists in the technology fields.

Bugs, broken codes, or system failures require added time for troubleshooting and increase the risk of data loss. LLNL has addressed failure recovery by developing the Scalable Checkpoint/Restart (SCR) framework.

LLNL’s HPC capabilities play a significant role in international science research and innovation, and Lab researchers have won 10 R&D 100 Awards in the Software–Services category in the past decade.

Randles, a former Lawrence fellow and current LLNL collaborator, was recognized for “groundbreaking contributions to computational health through innovative algorithms, tools and high performance computing methods for diagnosing and treating a variety of human diseases.”

This award honors companies with exceptional senior leadership teams that go above and beyond to redefine the employee experience.

Unveiled at the International Supercomputing Conference in Germany, the June 2024 Top500 lists three systems with identical components as registering 19.65 petaflops on the High Performance Linpack benchmark, ranking them among the world’s 50 fastest.

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) announced the selection of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) computational mathematician Ulrike Meier Yang as one of the 2024 Class of SIAM Fellows, the highest honor the organization bestows on its members.

The Lab has been honored with a Glassdoor Employees' Choice Award, recognizing the Best Places to Work in 2024. This is the fifth award LLNL has earned in Glassdoor’s award program since its inception in 2009.

Johannes Doerfert, a computer scientist in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing, was one of three researchers awarded the honor at SC23 in Denver.

An LLNL-led effort that performed an unprecedented global climate model simulation on the world’s first exascale supercomputer has won the first-ever Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling, ACM officials announced.

Leading HPC publication HPCwire presented Spack developers with the Editor's Choice Award for Best HPC Programming Tool or Technology at SC23.

LLNL is participating in the 35th annual Supercomputing Conference (SC23), which will be held both virtually and in Denver on November 12–17, 2023.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s largest technical professional organization, has elevated LLNL staff member Bhavya Kailkhura to the grade of senior member within the organization.

With this year’s results, the Lab has now collected a total of 179 R&D 100 awards since 1978. The awards will be showcased at the 61st R&D 100 black-tie awards gala on Nov. 16 in San Diego.
