At the recent SciDAC conference in San Diego, 10 videos won awards at the Electronic Visualization and Poster Night. One of those awards went to Argonne for their “Turbulent Flow of Coolant in an Advanced Nuclear Reactor”.
Both the visualizations and the computer runs for the winning entries were done at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF). The computations were carried out on one of the world’s fastest and most energy-efficient supercomputers: Intrepid, Argonne’s IBM Blue Gene/P. The visualizations were performed on Eureka with software developed at Argonne. Eureka is also located at the ALCF and is one of the world’s largest graphics processing units, providing more than 111 teraflops and over 3.2 terabytes of RAM.
