LLNL is applying ML to real-world applications on multiple scales. Researchers explain why water filtration, wildfires, and carbon capture are becoming more solvable thanks to groundbreaking data science methodologies on some of the world’s fastest computers.

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.

Discover how the software architecture and storage systems that will drive El Capitan’s performance will help LLNL and the NNSA Tri-Labs push the boundaries of computational science.

LLNL’s fusion ignition breakthrough, more than 60 years in the making, was enabled by a combination of traditional fusion target design methods, HPC, and AI techniques.

By taking weather variables such as wildfire, flooding, wind, and sunlight that directly impact the electrical grid into consideration, researchers can improve electrical grid model projections for a more stable future.

Over several years, teams have prepared the infrastructure for El Capitan, designing and building the computing facility’s upgrades for power and cooling, installing storage and compute components and connecting everything together. Once all the pieces are in place, the life of El Cap as world-class supercomputer begins.
