Developed by Berkeley Lab CRD, NERSC and EESA researchers, ESS-DIVE is a new digital archive that serves as a repository for hundreds of Dept. of Energy-funded research projects under the agency’s Environmental System Science umbrella. » Read More
Berkeley Lab’s 2018 Luis W. Alvarez Fellow in Computing Sciences Tess Smidt is designing a neural network that can automatically generate novel atomic crystal structures. » Read More
The Exascale Computing Project has initiated ExaLearn, a new ECP co-design center focusing on exascale machine-learning software. Berkeley Lab is one of eight national labs participating. » Read More
The BIDS ecosystem comprises an impressive network of Fellows, including some who are Berkeley Lab scientists. This month, several Berkeley Lab-BIDS Fellows are organizing two of events to share their data-science expertise: Machine Learning for Science (ML4Sci) Workshop and the California Water Data Hackathon.
Results from a collaboration between the Exascale Computing Project's Sparse Solvers Software Technology project and ExaGraph Co-Design Center showed that the parallel AWPM (approximate-weight perfect matching) code can run up to 2,500x faster than the sequential algorithm on 256 nodes of NERSC's Cori supercomputer.
In a plenary talk given at the recent CHEP conference, NERSC and CRD researchers presented findings from a study in which they demonstrated how generative adversarial networks can speed simulations in high energy physics studies.
Sanjana Shah, a high school student from the Peninsula discovered her passion for programming when she attended a coding workshop for youth sponsored by a local tech company. She is also the first (and so far, the only) high school student CRD's David Donofrio has ever hired through the Computing Sciences Summer Student program.
