Julia as a unifying end-to-end workflow language on the Frontier exascale system
A multidisciplinary team of researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) pioneered the use of the LLVM-based high-productivity/high-performance Julia language unifying capabilities to write an end-to-end workflow on Frontier, the first US Department of Energy (DOE) exascale system.
ORNL scientists contribute Earth system expertise to Fifth National Climate Assessment
Scientists at ORNL used their knowledge of complex ecosystem processes, energy systems, human dynamics, computational science and Earth-scale modeling to inform the nation’s latest National Climate Assessment, which draws attention to vulnerabilities and resilience opportunities in every region of the country.
The Journey to Frontier
Click here for static version. Just before dawn, Scott Atchley woke up for the third time, took another sip of coffee and sat down at his computer to watch the next failure. It was the morning of May 27, 2022. Atchley and fellow scientists had spent months tuning and tweaking Frontier, the $600 million supercomputer installed
