Heterogeneous Catalysis

Exascale computing is essential to study the catalysis process because of the large number of atoms that must be treated with accurate methods.

Simulation: Supernova Explosion

Hot material roils around a newly-born neutron star at the center of a core-collapse supernova.

Revealing Biological Function in Real Time

LCLS is revealing biological structures that could help scientists design new life-saving drugs with limited side effects.

Simulations for Earthquake Risk Assessment

Exascale computing can dramatically increase our understanding of earthquake processes and improve estimates of future ground motions.

World’s biggest machine!

Intermittent renewable sources (wind and solar), electric vehicles, and smart loads will vastly change the behavior of the world’s biggest machine, the electric power grid.

New catalyst design is a grand challenge

Exascale computing is essential to study the catalysis process because of the large number of atoms that must be treated with accurate methods.

Solutions for Microbiome Analysis

Analyzing the DNA of microorganism communities is one of the most computationally demanding tasks in bioinformatics, requiring exascale computing and advanced algorithms.

Gasifier simulation with MFIX-DEM

Watch how coal and ash particles flow and react with air and steam flowing upwards in this gasifier simulation.

Molecular Dynamics at the Exascale

Simulations that fully exploit exascale can solve key problems in fission and fusion materials

Computing the Sky at Extreme Scales

The video shows a portion of a simulation of the cosmological structure formation from the HACC code's 'Q Continuum' run on Titan.
