This computing infrastructure allows access to the computing resources necessary to perform modern scientific research and engineering.By Cory Hatch, INL Communications & Outreach - When Kyle Schroeder began his nuclear engineering degree at Idaho State University, he relied on his personal computer to run complex simulations required for his job as a research assistant.Specifically, Schroeder was trying to model how fluid might flow through a new type of heat exchanger – a discovery that could someday make nuclear reactors more efficient.“I have a pretty robust personal computer, and it would take 12 to 20 hours,” said Schroeder, who is working toward his master’s degree. “On the supercomputers, I can run something...
