SciDAC Meeting to Showcase LBNL’s Leadership in Projects
Since DOE launched its Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program in 2001, scientists at Berkeley Lab have led a number of the projects and provided strong support for many others. When the annual SciDAC meeting is held June 26–30 in San Francisco, LBNL’s con- tributions to the success of the program will be highlighted via invited talks, panel dis- cussions and poster presentations. Here is a rundown of Berkeley Lab contributions to the meeting program. Read More »
DSD Staff to Figure Prominently at HPDC 14
When the Fourteenth IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Distributed Computing convenes in July, Berkeley Lab’s Distributed Systems Department (DSD) will have a strong presence. Not only are two of the papers and one of the posters from LBNL, but Deb Agarwal and Mary Thompson are also members of the program committee. Co-sponsored by IEEE and ACM, HPDC-14 will be held July 24-27 in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The 14th annual meeting of the High Performance… Read More »
NetLogger Helps Supernova Factory Improve Data Analysis
The Nearby Supernova Factory (SNfactory) project, established at Berkeley Lab in 2002, aims to dramatically increase the discovery of nearby Type 1a supernovae by applying assembly-line efficiencies to the collection, analysis and retrieval of large amounts of astronomical data.
To date, the program has resulted in the… Read More »
Center’s Microbial Data Management System to be Featured at Conference

LBNL Team Takes Software to the End of the Earth
Developing robust, reliable data acquisition software for high-energy physics experiments is always a challenge, but developing such software for an experiment expected to run for up to 15 years while buried in the Antarctic ice poses unique problems.
But a team led by Chuck McParland of CRD’s Distributed Scientific Tools… Read More »
LBNL Team Takes Software to the End of the Earth
Developing robust, reliable data acquisition software for high-energy physics experiments is always a challenge, but developing such software for an experiment expected to run for up to 15 years while buried in the Antarctic ice poses unique problems. But a team led by Chuck McParland of CRD’s Distributed Scientific Tools Group has risen to the occasion. The first kilometer-long string of 60 detectors recently buried near the South Pole is already recording light pulses as the experiment… Read More »
Biological Data Management and Technology Center Marks First Year
The Biological Data Management and Technology Center (BDMTC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory marked its first anniversary with the release of the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) system, a complex biological data management system BDMTC developed in collaboration with the Microbial Genome Analysis Program (MGAP) at the Joint Genome Institute (JGI).[image class="right" src="/assets/Images/News/2005/Screen-Shots/6dd2def7f0/Screen-Shot-2015-07-06-at-1.57.54-PM.png" width="106"… Read More »
CRD’s Juan Meza Named to National Research Council Panel
Juan Meza, head of the High Performance Computing Research Department in CRD, has been appointed as a member of the National Research Council Panel I: Modeling and Simulation, Systems Engineering, and Cost and Risk Analysis, one of 10 panels to review NASA's Capability Roadmaps. The panel will be chaired by Dr. Nancy Leveson,… Read More »
Face-to-Face Discussion Helps Fusion Scientists Solve Interface Problem
Sometimes, $14 can go a long way. For the price of a train ticket from Manhattan to Princeton, CRD’s Sherry Li was able to meet with scientists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab and together they were able to solve problems that were keeping a new fusion code from running fully parallel. Li, a member of the Scientific Computing Group and one of the key developers of the SuperLU library of solvers, had been consulting with Steve Jardin’s group at PPPL for several months as the… Read More »
News About the ACTS Collection
In conjunction with demonstrations at the SC2004 conference last November, Osni Marques and Tony Drummond of CRD’s Scientific Computing Group created a matrix of applications that use ACTS tools. Marques and Drummond provide support for the DOE ACTS (Advanced CompuTational Software) Collection, a set of software tools developed by DOE, sometimes in collaboration with other agencies (DARPA, NSF), that make it easier for programmers to write high performance scientific applications… Read More »
