Using public data from the entire 1,500-square-mile Los Angeles metropolitan area, PNNL researchers reduced the time needed to create a traffic congestion model by an order of magnitude, from hours to minutes.
PNNL’s longstanding grid and buildings capabilities are driving two projects that test transactive energy concepts on a grand scale and lay the groundwork for a more efficient U.S. energy system.
PNNL researchers have shown an improved binarized neural network can deliver a low-cost and low-energy computation to help the performance of smart devices and the power grid.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers developed a graphical processing unit (GPU)-centered quantum computer simulator that can be 10 times faster than any other quantum computer simulator.
In a new video series, PNNL is highlighting six scientific and technical experts in the national security domain throughout the fall. Each was promoted to scientist and engineer Level 5, one of PNNL’s most senior research roles.
Researchers at PNNL have developed a bacteria testing system called OmniScreen that combines biological and synthetic chemistry with machine learning to hunt down pathogens before they strike.
PNNL’s new Smart Power Grid Simulator, or Smart-PGSim, combines high-performance computing and artificial intelligence to optimize power grid simulations without sacrificing accuracy.
The MIT-sponsored competition encourages community approaches to developing new solutions for analyzing graphs and sparse data; PNNL has placed a winner in each year.
