Titan Simulates Earthquake Physics Necessary for Safer Building Design

Researchers conduct unprecedented study on GPUs of damaging, high-frequency shaking When the last massive earthquake shook the San Andreas Fault in 1906—causing fires that burned down most of San Francisco and leaving half the city’s population homeless—

Titan Gets Computational Company

Eos, a Cray XC30 system has 744 nodes divided among four cabinets, is one of the OLCF's newest computing resources.
GE simulated hundreds of water droplets, each including one million molecules. Simulations accelerated at least 200 times over pre-GPU estimates permitting GE to study the nucleation of individual ice molecules. Visualization by M. Matheson (ORNL)

Titan Propels GE Wind Turbine Research into New Territory

Simulations of freezing water can help engineers design better blades The amount of global electricity supplied by wind, the world’s fastest growing energy source, is expected to increase from 2.5 to as much as 12 percent by 2020.
