Argonne researchers receive HPC Innovation Excellence Award for foundational simulation data and analysis techniques. The work helped AT&T develop a tool to evaluate impacts of flooding on critical infrastructure at scales previously unattainable.
Whether it’s predicting how an infectious disease will spread or forecasting weather conditions, computer simulation replicates real-world events to save researchers time and money in planning for the future.
With 20,000 power plants, 200,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines, 60,000 substations and 3 million miles of power line, the nation’s electrical grid is perhaps the largest and most complex machine ever assembled.
