Overview Lattice gauge theory calculations solve fundamental problems in particle and nuclear physics using large-scale computer calculations. The theory aims to understand the physical phenomena described by quantum chromodynamics, or QCD, and to make precision calculations of the theory’s predictions. QCD describes the strong interactions that bind protons and neutrons together to form the nuclei […]

Overview Very large computing systems have contributed enormously to answering the big questions in science and engineering; so much so that further breakthroughs in science and engineering will depend on continuing increases in computational ability and easily usable and accessible high-end systems. The National Science Foundation (NSF) Cyberinfrastructure Evaluation Center, led by researchers at RENCI […]

Overview Claim Jumping through Scientific Literature is a Faculty Fellow research project that is creating an information synthesis system. The system will be a method for retrieving information across disciplinary boundaries that address the differences in semantics and syntax used by different disciplines. Called Claim Jumper to signify modern-day gold miners searching for nuggets of knowledge on […]

Overview The SC Conference is the premier international conference on high performance computing (HPC), networking, storage and analysis, and it attracts worldwide participation from scientists, researchers, software developers, network engineers, policymakers, corporate managers, CIOs and IT administrators from universities, industry and government.

Overview The Pablo Research Group started in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the direction of Professor Dan Reed (former RENCI director). The group investigates the interaction of architecture, system software, and applications on large-scale parallel and distributed computer systems. It created SvPablo, a graphical environment for instrumenting […]

Overview The Los Alamos Computer Science Institute (LACSI) was created to foster computer science and computational science research efforts at the Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) that are both internationally recognized and relevant to the laboratory’s goals. Led by a team of collaborators at LANL and the Rice University Center for Research […]
