High-Performance Computing in Nuclear Technology

This panel is presented by Argonne National Laboratory.

High-Performance Computing (HPC) has gone through many advances during the last decade, and it recently entered the Exascale era. HPC can greatly accelerate findings in domain sciences and engineering, as it has been shown in applications including climate, medical advances, materials, and various national security needs. This panel will provide a discussion forum for students to learn about how HPC can aid advances in nuclear science and engineering. The panel will begin with short presentations, including a brief introduction of HPC evolution and characteristics involving scalability and performance. This will be followed by a dynamic and open question-and-answer session about advances and challenges in current HPC development and applications.
