Abstract :
Sandia National Laboratories, a US Department of Energy laboratory, works with the US Defense Department, the National Science Foundation, NASA, and industry to develop high-performance computing (HPC) technologies and apply them to nationally important problems. Its mission areas include national security, industrial competitiveness, energy resources and environmental quality. Computers are being used to design and optimize materials ranging from catalysts to optoelectronics, and simulations are replacing tests and experiments that are environmentally unacceptable or prohibitively expensive. We are also starting to use computers to optimize product performance and model manufacturing processes. Sandia has dozens of cooperative research agreements with US companies to work on: operating systems, parallel C++ libraries, mesh generation, computer design of materials, structural system identification, information surety and low-density flows
