Can the same type of technology Facebook uses to recognize faces also recognize particles?

Physicists and scientific computing experts prepare for an onslaught of petabytes.

Two recently funded computing projects work toward developing cutting-edge scientific applications for future exascale supercomputers that can perform at least a billion billion computing operations per second.

Liu acknowledged for wide-ranging work in energy materials, catalysis, carbon sequestration, material in extreme conditions and scientific big data mining.

Finding ways to handle torrents of data from LSST and LCLS-II will also advance “exascale” computing.
