Berkeley Lab Wins Network Challenge at SC2000
The Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences organization again demonstrated its achievements and leadership in high-performance computing and networking at the annual SC conference held last week in Dallas.The SC conference, formerly known as Supercomputing, drew 5,200 attendees and 153 exhibitors, including vendors and research organizations, such as the DOE labs. Berkeley Lab’s booth highlighted the release of new software, the development of technologies to advance DOE’s Science Grid linking… Read More »
Berkeley Lab's David Quarry to Serve as Chief Architect for LHC ATLAS Experiment
David Quarrie, leader of the High Energy and Nuclear Physics Software Group in NERSC, has accepted a two-year assignment as chief architect for the ATLAS high-energy physics experiment. ATLAS is an international research program to be carried out at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland beginning in 2005. Quarrie’s new position will occupy about 50 percent of his time, and he will also continue working on software efforts related to the BaBar project at the Stanford Linear… Read More »
Alexandre Chorin Honored for Three Decades Of Intellectual Leadership In Studying The Scientific Puzzle Of Turbulent Flows
For more than 30 years, Dr. Alexandre Chorin has worked to develop computational methods for solving problems in fluid mechanics, with the hope that they will eventually lead to an understanding of the most difficult problem of applied mathematics — the problem of turbulence. What makes the turbulence problem so compelling, in addition to its practical importance, Chorin says, is that the basic equations that describe turbulence are well-known and simple, yet their solutions are incredibly… Read More »
