RICHLAND, Wash., July 31, 2024 — The US Department of Energy has created a database designed to make ideas, technologies, methods and software developed by DOE available in one place. DOE said it worked with software engineers and others at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory on the Visual Intellectual Property Search database, or VIPS, designed to make […]
‘Physics-Informed Machine Learning’: New Technique at PNNL Corrects Remote Sensing Data
July 30, 2024 by
Turbulence, temperature changes, water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone, methane, and other gases absorb, reflect, and scatter sunlight as it passes through the atmosphere, bounces off the Earth’s surface, and is collected ….
Power Grid Modeling Tool Launched on Frontier Exascale Supercomputer
June 1, 2023 by
Exascale Grid Optimization (ExaGO), a power grid simulation and optimization platform developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), is the first of its kind to run on Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL) Frontier, the first supercomputer in the world to reach exascale. Frontier, which was launched this spring, can calculate more than 1 quintillion operations per second and […]

August 30, 2022 by
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $70 million in funding for seven projects intended to improve climate prediction and aid in the fight against climate change. The research will be used to accelerate development of DOE’s Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM), enabling scientific discovery through collaborations between climate scientists, computer scientists and […]
PNNL and Micron Partner to Push Memory Boundaries for HPC and AI
March 8, 2022 by
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Micron are are developing an advanced memory system to support AI for scientific computing. The work is designed to address AI’s insatiable demand for live data — to push the boundaries of memory-bound AI applications — by connecting memory across processors in a technology strategy utilizing the […]
Ruby Leung, Chief Scientist for Energy Exascale Earth System Model Project, Named a DOE Distinguished Scientist Fellow.
September 28, 2021 by
Ruby Leung likes to ask questions. That started at her high school in Hong Kong, where she also became interested in science. “I was one of those kids in science who always was curious. And then you can find the answers,” said Leung, an atmospheric scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) in Richland, Washington. “Of course, after you […]
PNNL’S CENATE Taps ML to Guard DOE Supercomputers Against Illegitimate Workloads
October 28, 2020 by
Pacific Northwest National Lab sent along this article today by PNNL’s Allan Brettman, who writes about the advanced techniques used by the lab’s Center for Advanced Technology Evaluation (CENATE) “to judge HPC workload legitimacy that is as stealthy as an undercover detective surveying the scene through a two-way mirror.” This includes machine learning methods, such […]
New Library of Artificial Antibodies Could Target Pathogens With Molecular Precision
April 6, 2020 by
A research team led by Berkeley Lab has developed a technique that could accelerate the design of artificial antibodies for biomedical applications – from sensing technologies that detect and neutralize infectious viruses and bacteria to the early detection of Alzheimer’s. “We can now readily build populations of rugged synthetic materials that can be engineered to recognize a potential pathogen,” said Zuckermann. “It is a shining example of biomimetic nanoscience.”
Deep Learning on Summit Supercomputer Powers Insights for Nuclear Waste Remediation
November 9, 2019 by
A research collaboration between LBNL, PNNL, Brown University, and NVIDIA has achieved exaflop (half-precision) performance on the Summit supercomputer with a deep learning application used to model subsurface flow in the study of nuclear waste remediation. Their achievement, which will be presented during the “Deep Learning on Supercomputers” workshop at SC19, demonstrates the promise of physics-informed generative adversarial networks (GANs) for analyzing complex, large-scale science problems.
