Next Generation Oil Reservoir Simulations

This paper describes a collaborative effort between Amoco Production Company, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Cray Research Inc. to develop a nextgeneration massively parallel oil reservoir simulation code. The simulator, code-named Falcon, enables highly detailed simulations to be performed on a range of platforms such as the Cray T3D and T3E. The code is currently being used by Amoco to pe...

Opinion: The Next Generation Researchers Initiative at NIH.

Growing concerns about the wellbeing and stability of the biomedical research workforce are well documented. Over the last 15 years (since the end of the doubling of the NIH budget), we have observed worsening “hypercompetition” as more scientists vie for fewer available dollars (1, 2). Within this hypercompetitive environment, the research workforce is growing older at a rate that is dispropor...

Developing Biomedical Simulations for Next-generation Healthcare

Supercomputers today are applied in ways that go beyond academic research and into diverse fields such as manufacturing and climate/meteorological predictions. Meanwhile, the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in medicine goes only as far as the latest medical equipment such as medical imaging diagnostic systems, or administrative support such as electronic medical record sy...

Training the next generation of biomedical researchers: challenges and opportunities.

We have entered an era of great excitement and challenge in the life sciences, in which scientific knowledge is changing and accruing rapidly. Many new areas of study, including functional genomics, tissue engineering, and bioinformatics, are being pursued with increasingly powerful techniques, and they present extraordinary opportunities for improving our understanding of health and disease.
