ACME: Climate Modeling Powered by DOE Supercomputers, Tamed by Uncertainty Quantification

Facing increasing evidence of climate change, scientists around the world are working to improve climate modeling, hoping to provide decision makers solid projections to guide the development of mitigating policies. Khachik Sargsyan is leading a Sandia effort to strengthen climate models through uncertainty quantification (UQ) for the Accelerated Climate Model for Energy (ACME) program. The…

Working Toward Success: A Look at the Engine Combustion Network

American industrialist Henry Ford once said, “If everyone is moving forward together, then success will take care of itself.” Ford was no doubt speaking on the basis of his business expertise but some 150 years later, his ideas of success are still in motion at the Combustion Research Facility (CRF). In keeping with the concept…

Supercomputing In the Media: National Geographic

Kudos to Sandian Dr. Jackie Chen, whose work on exascale computing systems was recently featured in the National Geographic’s ‘Daily News’ section. Entitled “Supercomputing Power Could Pave the Way to Energy-Efficient Engines,” the news article focused on how the world’s most powerful supercomputers provide critical knowledge to spur the design of more fuel-efficient cars.
