September 4, 2008 | Barbara Jennings, Joel Stevenson & Lilia Martinez
The presentation by Sandia National Laboratories, delivered on September 4, 2008, by Barbara Jennings, Joel Stevenson, and Lilia Martinez, highlights the laboratory's role as a multiprogram facility operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. Sandia's primary mission is in nuclear weapons, but it also focuses on science and engineering to meet national security needs. The lab is located in Nevada and is known for its advanced computer modeling, simulation, and flight testing capabilities. Key points include: - **Supercomputing and Engineering**: Sandia has developed the world's fastest computers, with the Red Storm system achieving 124 teraflops. - **Partnerships**: The lab actively seeks new partnerships, offering research facilities and a 250-acre Science and Technology Park. - **HPC History**: Sandia has a rich history in high-performance computing, from the 1024-node nCUBE 10 in 1987 to the current ASCI Red system. - **Red Storm System**: Detailed information on the Red Storm system, including its architecture, software, and user support, is provided. - **User Support**: Sandia offers unique technical support through the Clik community and a web-based application called SARAPE for requesting remote accounts. - **Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing**: The lab emphasizes collaborative learning, information, and knowledge sharing. The presentation concludes by inviting interested individuals to apply for internships at Sandia, highlighting the exciting atmosphere and exceptional opportunities available.The presentation by Sandia National Laboratories, delivered on September 4, 2008, by Barbara Jennings, Joel Stevenson, and Lilia Martinez, highlights the laboratory's role as a multiprogram facility operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration.
