Brookhaven National Laboratory announced today that Adolfy Hoisie will chair its newly formed Computing for National Security department, which is part of Brookhaven’s new Computational Science Initiative (CSI). “We see a huge potential to make a positive impact on the nation’s security by bringing our unique extreme-scale data expertise to bear on challenges of national importance,� said CSI Director Kerstin Kleese van Dam in the announcement.
PNNL’s Center for Advanced Tech Evaluation Seeks Wider HPC Community Ties
Two years ago the Department of Energy established the Center for Advanced Technology Evaluation (CENATE) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). CENATE’s ambitious mission was to be a proving ground for near-term and long-term technologies that could impact DoE workloads and HPC broadly. This month the leadership baton was passed from founding director Adolfy Hoise to Kevin Barker, a veteran PNNL researcher and member of the CENATE project since its start.
ALCF Simulations Aim to Reduce Jet Engine Noise
CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 21, 2017 — Humans make a lot of noise. The riffs of heavy metal bands like Metallica and Kiss have soared to levels in the 130-decibel range, levels sure to lead to auditory damage. But try as they might, bands just can’t compete with the decibel ranges produced by jet engines. They are, said Joe Nichols, among the loudest sources of human-made noise that exist.
