Among them is Shusen Liu, a computer scientist in the Machine Intelligence Group in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing.

The Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM) Special Interest Group on High Performance Computing (SIGHPC) has awarded Kathryn Mohror with its prestigious Emerging Woman Leader in Technical Computing (EWLTC) Award.

An optics element team and two open-source software teams (UMap and UnifyFS) are LLNL's winners of this year's awards.

Developed by LLNL, Colorado, and Purdue researchers, a new approach eases the implementation of curved geometries into computing simulations.

Two LLNL teams have come up with ingenious solutions to a few of the more vexing difficulties. For their efforts, they’ve won awards coveted by scientists in the technology fields.

Bugs, broken codes, or system failures require added time for troubleshooting and increase the risk of data loss. LLNL has addressed failure recovery by developing the Scalable Checkpoint/Restart (SCR) framework.

LLNL’s HPC capabilities play a significant role in international science research and innovation, and Lab researchers have won 10 R&D 100 Awards in the Software–Services category in the past decade.

Randles, a former Lawrence fellow and current LLNL collaborator, was recognized for “groundbreaking contributions to computational health through innovative algorithms, tools and high-performance computing methods for diagnosing and treating a variety of human diseases.”

This award honors companies with exceptional senior leadership teams that go above and beyond to redefine the employee experience.

Unveiled at the International Supercomputing Conference in Germany, the June 2024 Top500 lists three systems with identical components as registering 19.65 petaflops on the High Performance Linpack benchmark, ranking them among the world’s 50 fastest.

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) announced the selection of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) computational mathematician Ulrike Meier Yang as one of the 2024 Class of SIAM Fellows, the highest honor the organization bestows on its members.

The Lab has been honored with a Glassdoor Employees' Choice Award, recognizing the Best Places to Work in 2024. This is the fifth award LLNL has earned in Glassdoor’s award program since its inception in 2009.

Johannes Doerfert, a computer scientist in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing, was one of three researchers awarded the honor at SC23 in Denver.

An LLNL-led effort that performed an unprecedented global climate model simulation on the world’s first exascale supercomputer has won the first-ever Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling, ACM officials announced.

Leading HPC publication HPCwire presented Spack developers with the Editor's Choice Award for Best HPC Programming Tool or Technology at SC23.

LLNL is participating in the 35th annual Supercomputing Conference (SC23), which will be held both virtually and in Denver on November 12–17, 2023.

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s largest technical professional organization, has elevated LLNL staff member Bhavya Kailkhura to the grade of senior member within the organization.

With this year’s results, the Lab has now collected a total of 179 R&D 100 awards since 1978. The awards will be showcased at the 61st R&D 100 black-tie awards gala on Nov. 16 in San Diego.

A team from LLNL and seven other DOE labs is a finalist for the new ACM Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modeling for running an unprecedented high-resolution global atmosphere model on the world’s first exascale supercomputer. 

LLNL's zfp and Variorum software projects are winners. LLNL is a co-developing organization on the winning CANDLE project.

LLNL physicist Tammy Ma and computational scientist Jeff Hittinger were recently celebrated for winning the Krell Institute’s James Corones Award in Leadership, Community Building, and Communication.

A research team from Oak Ridge and Lawrence Livermore national labs won the first IPDPS Best Open-Source Contribution Award for the paper “UnifyFS: A User-level Shared File System for Unified Access to Distributed Local Storage.”

Splitting memory resources in high performance computing between local nodes and a larger shared remote pool can help better support diverse applications.

Updating a compiler can affect how code runs, leading to inconsistencies in outputs and creating problems for scientists. A new tool automatically finds the sources of these inconsistencies.

The prestigious fellow designation is a lifetime honorific title and honors SIAM members who have made outstanding contributions to fields served by the organization.
