Researchers who ran a record 45 qubit simulation worked with NERSC staff and used the CRD Roofline Model to identify potential performance boosts. » Read More
A new math “shortcut” developed by CRD's Chao Yang is speeding up molecular absorption calculations by a factor of five, so simulations that used to take 10 to 15 hours to compute can now be done in approximately 2.5 hours. The algorithm will be incorporated in an upcoming release of the widely used NWChem computational chemistry suite. » Read More
An HPC for Manufacturing project co-led by CRD's David Trebotich could help U.S. paper manufacturers significantly reduce production costs and increase energy efficiencies.The papermaking industry currently ranks third among the country’s largest energy users, behind only petroleum refining and chemical production. » Read More
Discovered! The first ever multiply-imaged gravitationally-lensed Type Ia supernova. With more of these events, researchers could measure the universe's expansion rate within four percent accuracy. CRD researchers do have a method for finding more. » Read More
The ISC High Performance conference (ISC 2017) named Berkeley Lab’s Eric Strohmaier an ISC Fellow. Strohmaier is known internationally for his role as a founding editor of the twice-yearly TOP500 list of the world’s top supercomputers.
Researchers from ETH Zurich in Switzerland used the Cori supercomputer at NERSC to simulate a 45-qubit circuit, the largest simulation of a quantum computer ever achieved. They also used CRD's Roofline Model to improve code performance.

These algorithms will be incorporated in an upcoming release of the widely used NWChem computational chemistry software suite later this year.
