Heavy Metal: How First Supernovae Altered Early Star Formation
An international team of researchers ran multi-scale, multi-physics 2D and 3D simulations at NERSC to illustrate how heavy metals expelled from exploding supernovae held the first stars in the universe regulate subsequent star formation and influence the appearance of galaxies in the process.

Berkeley Lab Projects Advance Running, Scheduling of Scientific Workflows on HPC Systems
Researchers are increasingly turning to high performance computing (HPC) systems to carry out scientific workflows, which are executed as a series of steps and programs to study complex problems. However, achieving this can require a number of time-consuming manual tasks by the user and doesn’t always make the most efficient use of the system. Recently, researchers at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) released publicly available software… Read More »

Berkeley Lab Staff to Participate in Major Machine Learning Conference
Berkeley Lab’s growing involvement in deep learning research and development will be evident next week when several staff members present papers and posters for the first time at the 2017 Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems. Read More »
High-Performance Computing Cuts Particle Collision Data Prep Time
A new approach to raw data reconstruction has potential to turn particle tracks into physics discoveries faster. And, Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers recently proved the concept with help from NERSC supercomputers & ESnet's high-speed network. Read More »
NERSC Resources Help Predict New Material for High-Power, High-Efficiency LEDs
Using predictive atomistic calculations and high-performance supercomputers at NERSC, University of Michigan researchers found that incorporating the element boron into the widely used InGaN (indium-gallium nitride) material can keep electrons from becoming too crowded in LEDs, making the material more efficient at producing light.

The Mystery of the Star That Wouldn’t Die
Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley scientists were part of a team that helped to decipher one of the most bizarre spectacles ever seen in the night sky: A supernova that refused to stop shining, remaining bright far longer than an ordinary stellar explosion. What caused the event is puzzling. Read More »
Students Turn Summer Research into SC17 Research Poster
Instead of going on vacation last summer, recent computer science graduates Tom Corcoran and Rafael Zamora went to work at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. They were invited to stay on at the lab because of their advanced work at the intersection of protein classification and machine learning. Their project also got them an invitation to present their work at the 2017 Supercomputing Conference in Denver. At the conference, to be held November 12-17, the two will present a poster… Read More »
