Progress toward plugging an antibiotic pump
Each year in the U.S., at least 23,000 people die from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Using computer modeling, researchers from Sandia and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are helping to develop the means to prevent some of those deaths.
Computer science educator garners 2018 Sandia Excellence in Teaching Award
Miguel Baez, Granada High School computer science teacher, has earned the 2018 Sandia National Laboratories Excellence in Teaching Award for his innovative teaching methods and devotion to his students.
Sandia computational researcher wins DOE Early Career Research Program award
Sandia researcher Eric C. Cyr has received a 2018 Early Career Research Program award of $500,000 every year for five years to improve deep neural networks so they more efficiently combine experimental results with the most complex computer models.
DA talks tough on metro crime
Bernalillo County District Attorney Raúl Torrez gave a Sandia audience some sobering facts about crime in the Albuquerque metro area at the inaugural session of the Community Engagement Speaker Series.
DOE to deploy Arm-based supercomputer prototype at Sandia
Arm microprocessors have been used in numerous applications from vehicle computers to cell phones, but until recently, have not been practical for use in high-performance computing. Astra — one of the first supercomputers to use Arm processors in a large-scale high-performance computing platform — is expected to be deployed at Sandia later this summer.
Shadid named SIAM fellow
Sandia computational scientist and mathematician John Shadid has been named a 2018 Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, based upon his research on solution methods for multiphysics systems, scalable parallel numerical algorithms and numerical methods for strongly coupled nonlinear partial differential equations.
Exascale
The Energy Exascale Earth System Model, or E3SM, is an earth modeling system developed by eight DOE labs and several universities working under the aegis of DOE's Office of Science. It is expected to have one of the finest resolutions ever achieved by supercomputers simulating aspects of the planet’s climate.
