U.S. Department of Energy announced today that 24 million super-computing time of one hour of 1.6 billion, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Argonne, and the time available to research and development were awarded lithium-air battery materials, power supply for the capacity of the car 500 miles on one charge . Through innovation VGP-BPS10A,VGP-BPS10A/B,VGP-BPS10B,VGP-BPS11 and the effects of the novel theoretical and experimental (incitement) program, the research team includes representatives from the U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory and IBM scientists will use the world’s most powerful supercomputer designed for two to the air new materials required for lithium batteries. Lithium-ion batteries, in today’s new plug-ins for hybrid electric vehicles, there are about 40-100 miles range.
Calculations in the two Oak Ridge and Argonne, which is the world’s fastest computer, the top ten house 2.
“Computing and supercomputing is essential to resolve we face some of the greatest science, said:” Secretary Chu. “This year’s awards reflect the incitement in the complex modeling and simulation capabilities, which is essential to improve our economic prosperity and global competitiveness of the tremendous demand growth.”
The INCITE program provides a unique collection of computing resources, so that scientists and engineers to be cut, in a few weeks or months, rather than cutting-edge research required for a few years ago. The use of scientific modeling can accelerate the scientific breakthroughs in areas such as climate change, alternative energy, life sciences and materials science.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, said Tang Mu Meisen, the battery project is two visits in 2009 from the Oak Ridge IBM vice president of research and development results. From these discussions, “it is clear cooperation between us has been an important and needed to solve more than 10 times the ratio of the energy challenges, in order to improve the battery for storage and transportation of the unique features of a lot of scientific problems.”
“Argonne is committed to developing lithium-air technology, said:” Eric Sachs, director of Argonne. “Obstacles to the Li-air battery to become a viable technology is formidable, but the Department of Energy supercomputer modeling and simulation capabilities will help us speed up the necessary materials science, chemistry and engineering innovation.”
With regard to incitement
Of new innovations and the impact of theoretical calculations and experimental projects to promote cutting-edge research, can be the most advanced supercomputer that only countries. The Argonne Leadership Computing and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory facilities, operational procedures. Facilitiesvgp-bps13 , vgp-bps13/s , vgp-bps13a/b vgp-bps13b/b,VGP-BPS10 Leadership Award (one for each project is usually the number of one million hours of processors) supercomputer from academia, government and industry researchers a considerable sum of money. These projects address “great challenge for science and engineering,” such as the development of new energy solutions and obtain energy use arising from climate change understanding. The INCITE program, which is the recent recognition of HPCwire government and industry in high-performance computing, but also several of the company’s super-such as General Electric and IBM funding to help develop new technologies beneficial to the U.S. economy.
