Los Alamos has helped the nation invent and manage the nuclear arsenal for eight decades. Computing at extreme scales has always been a primary tool for keeping the world safe. That same extreme computing is used for lots of other scientific pursuits like climate, national infrastructure, and even brain studies. This talk will provide an overview of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and in particular High Performance Computing at LANL and how the world’s largest computers are built, maintained, and how they contribute to the science of the nation.
