Editor's Note
Information technology is opening the door for new discoveries in all areas of science. As the amount of research increases, so must the ability to process and store the resulting data. Over the last several years, supercomputers have evolved in size from gigaflops to teraflops and are approaching the petaflop scale. [read more...]

PNNL's Regional Centers Solve National Needs for Homeland Security
Few experts would argue against the fact that cyber security and data-intensive programs will play a vital role in the future security of our nation. However, the challenge lies with being able to effectively and efficiently interpret, address and communicate the data quickly. [read more...]

PNNL and Regional Partners Form Northwest Consortium to Connect Mathematical Scales
In 2005, with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Scientific Computing Research Program, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Oregon State University and Washington State University founded the Northwest Consortium for Multiscale Mathematics and Applications. [read more...]

PNNL data storage going virtual
Information Technology staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have jumped on the virtual band wagon. PNNL staff in Richland are "virtualizing" server infrastructure and shared storage in an effort to improve efficiencies in data storage and reduce the costs associated with physical servers and storage. [read more...]

Sensors no longer solo
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers are developing a distinct approach to problem solving that uses applied mathematics to integrate information from many types of sensors to facilitate robust decision making. [read more...]
