Argonne’s Rick Stevens on Energy, AI, and a New Kind of Science
The world is currently experiencing two of the largest societal upheavals since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. One is the rapid improvement and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, while the other is the sprint toward clean energy...
Machine Learning Predictions Successfully Model Atomic Masses of Nuclide Chart
The origin of heavy elements in our universe is theorized to be the result of neutron star collisions, which produce conditions hot and dense enough for free neutrons to merge with atomic nuclei and form new elements in a split-second window of time. Testing this...
Survey of Rapid Training Methods for Neural Networks
Artificial neural networks are computing systems with interconnected layers that process and learn from data. During training, neural networks utilize optimization algorithms to iteratively refine their parameters until they converge to a solution that accurately...
Only 16% of manufacturers has real-time visibility into production, says Zebra
Only 1 in 6 manufacturers has a clear understanding of its own processes, according to a new study from Zebra Technologies Corp. The report also found that 61% of manufacturers expect artificial intelligence to drive growth by 2029, up from 41% in 2024. The post Only...
AI-augmented HPC and the Inflation of Science and Technology
In the universe of numeric computation, one way to predict the future is to draw lines based on the past. Though not always perfect, predicting how fast a supercomputer will run the HPC benchmark in the future is often about extending lines. These lines reflect...
Supercomputer Simulations Offer Explanation for X-ray Radiation from Black Holes
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have succeeded in something that has been pursued since the 1970s: explaining the X-ray radiation from the black hole surroundings. The radiation originates from the combined effect of the chaotic movements of magnetic fields...
Los Alamos Researchers Deploy AI Models to Predict Harmful Algal Blooms
June 20, 2024 — A team of Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists plan to use artificial intelligence modeling to forecast, and better understand, a growing threat to water caused by toxic algal blooms. Fueled by climate change and rising water temperatures, these...

NASA spinoff Seatrec offers a new power source for underwater robots
Seatrec Inc. hopes to provide a new kind of power source using technology created at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California and licensed from the California Institute of Technology. The Vista, Calif.-based company said its technology can allow...
HPC and Climate: Coastal Hurricanes Around the World Are Intensifying Faster
A new study led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory finds that coastal conditions have changed since 1979, driving nearshore hurricanes around the world to intensify at a quickening pace. Moreover, new projections suggest...
ORNL: World’s Fastest Supercomputer Takes on Large Language Modeling
A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory explored training strategies for one of the largest artificial intelligence models to date with help from the world’s fastest supercomputer. The post ORNL: World’s Fastest...
Labs Keep Supercomputers Alive for Ten Years as Vendors Pull Support Early
Laboratories are running supercomputers for much longer, beyond the typical lifespan, as vendors prematurely deprecate the hardware and stop providing support. A typical supercomputer lifecycle is about five to six years. However, Japan-based RIKEN is planning to run...
