ECP ExaWind Project Taps AMReX and NERSC to Help Model Next-Generation Wind Farms. The ExaWind team is developing a predictive, physics-based, and high-resolution computational model — progressively building from petascale simulations of a single turbine toward exascale simulations of a nine-turbine array in complex terrain.

CRD’s Dan Martin Takes on New Role with the Exascale Computing Project
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP) has named Dan Martin, a computational scientist and group lead for the Applied Numerical Algorithms Group in Berkeley Lab’s Computational Research Division, as team lead for their Earth and Space Science portfolio within ECP Application Development focus area. Martin replaces Anshu Dubey, a computer scientist at Argonne National Laboratory.
Berkeley Lab Collaborates to Prepare Photovoltaic Research for Exascale
Researchers from Berkeley Lab’s Computational Research Division (CRD) and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) are collaborating with Carnegie Mellon and a number of other academic institutions to prepare to use the nation’s first exascale computer next year to continue the search for new, more efficient photovoltaic solar cell materials.
