A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)-led effort that performed an unprecedented global climate model simulation on the world’s first exascale supercomputer has won the first-ever Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling, ACM officials announced Thursday. The Simple Cloud Resolving E3SM Atmosphere Model (SCREAM) team, led by LLNL staff scientist Peter Caldwell and […]
Climate Change is an Existential Threat, and Businesses Need Data to Fight It
August 6, 2022 by
In this contributed article, Or Lenchner, CEO, Bright Data, examines how public web data collection is essential to ESG efforts in 2022. The recent International Panel on Climate Change report warned that we aren’t doing enough to avoid the dire impacts of climate change – businesses must use every tool at their disposal to support the fight against climate change, especially quality data.
Atos Takes Fight Over Met Office-Microsoft $1.6B Weather HPC Contract to UK High Court
May 23, 2022 by
Atos’ fight over the UK Met Office awarding a $1.56 billion contract to Microsoft to build the world’s biggest weather and climate supercomputer will soon go to the UK High Court, according to a story in the Financial Times. Atos, the leading Europe-based HPC vendor, argues that is was excluded unfairly from bids for the […]
DOE: $84M Funding Opportunity for Urban Climate Research

Working Smarter: Leveraging Machine Learning to Optimize CO2 Adsorption
October 3, 2021 by
In a recent study published in Environmental Science and Technology, a collaborative research team from Korea University and the National University of Singapore employed a machine learning-based approach that may guide the development of future porous carbon synthesis strategies. The scientists noted that there are three core factors influencing the CO2 adsorption properties in BWDPCs: the elemental composition of the porous solid, its textural properties, and the adsorption parameters at which it operates, such as temperature and pressure. However, how these core factors should be prioritized when developing BWDPCs has remained unclear, until now.

The Hyperion-insideHPC Interviews: Irene Qualters’ Long View of HPC, from a Start-up Called Cray to Today’s ‘No-Analog’ Research at Los Alamos
October 7, 2020 by
Irene Qualters, a senior-level manager at Los Alamos National Laboratory, has been at the forefront of the convergence of supercomputing and science for decades, extending back to joining Cray as one of that company’s first 100 employees. Few members of the HPC community can match her wealth of experience and wisdom regarding the future of scientific computing and its “no-analog” physics-informed AI exploration of problems confronting our planet, such as climate change.
