World ’s fastest supercomputers are helping to sharpen climate forecasts and design new materials
DENVER— To really understand how a material behaves, researchers need to simulate its whirling electrons, which govern most of its chemical and electronic properties. But they have traditionally faced a trade-off. They could simulate up to a couple of hundred electrons with near-perfect accuracy. Or they could simulate a much larger number—while accuracy fell off a cliff. The world’s most powerful supercomputers, operating at the far frontier of speed known as the exascale, have now begun to eliminate that trade-off. At SC23, a supercomputing conference here, researchers this week reported simulating...
