Argonne Researchers: Tiny Magnetic ‘Whirlpools’ Could Be Game Changer for HPC Memory Technology
November 22, 2022 by Leave a Comment
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are investigating the possibility that tiny magnetic whirlpools called “skyrmions,” which are magnetic vortices as tiny as billionths of a meter, could transform memory storage in future high performance computers. Skyrmions, the Argonne researchers say, show characteristics that could overcome the shortcomings of microscopic […]

@HPCpodcast: Argonne’s Rick Stevens on AI for Science (Part 2) – Coming Breakthroughs, Ethics and the Replacement of Scientists by Robots
March 11, 2022 by
In part 2 of our not-to-be-missed @HPCpodcast with Argonne National Laboratory Associate Director Rick Stevens, he discusses some of the important advances that had, by 2015, likely ended the cycle of AI for science winters. He also delves into the major challenges in AI for science, such as building models that are transparent and unbiased while also robust and secure. And Stevens looks at important upcoming AI for science breakthrough use cases, including the welcome news – for researchers beset by mountains of scientific papers – of utilizing large natural language modeling to ingest and collate existing knowledge of a scientific problem, enabling analysis of the literature that, Stevens said, goes well beyond a Google search….
