## Staff Recognition

- ASC Principal Investigator Meeting
- 21 February 2007

## SNL: Judy Sturtevant

- Successful Coordination of Purple System Integration and User Support for the ASC Level 1 Milestone
- Judy coordinated the SNL efforts contributing to successful completion of the ASC Purple L1 milestone. She also led the efforts that successfully ported and tested the SNL User Environment tools and libraries.

## SNL: Amalia Black, Wil Holzmann, and Vince Romero 

- Verification and Validation Milestones Contributing to the Tri-Lab W76 and W80 LEP and Certification
- Amalia, Wil, and Vince led teams that completed three Level II milestones, which comprised Sandia’s contribution to a tri-lab Level I milestone for delivering "advanced ASC physics and engineering simulation capabilities to support the W76 and W80 LEP/certification."

## SNL: Dean Dobranich, Nicole Breivik, Greg Tipton, Amy Rice, and Tom Laub 

- W76-1 Qualification
- Dean, Nicole, Greg, Amy, and Tom led teams that utilized ASC Engineering Codes, together with Red Storm and other ASC resources, to complete extensive studies in support of W76-1 qualification to STS environments.

## SNL: Bob Ballance, Suzanne Kelly, and Jim Tomkins 

- Successful Upgrade of Red Storm
- The combined hardware and software changes increased the measured Linpack performance of Red Storm from 36.19 teraflops to 101.4 teraflops and into second place on the Top500 supercomputer list announced at Supercomputing 2006

## LLNL: B. I. Jun, Grant Bazan, Jeff Greenough

- Thermonuclear Burn Initiative
- For high resolution calculations and their analysis. This work has opened up new avenues of scientific investigation and is reshaping the way investigators are thinking about this problem.

## LLNL: Dana Goto, Charles Tong, Henry Hsieh

- Verification & Validation
- For development of novel global sensitivity analysis methods and their application in 2D to problems of relevance to DOE. These calculations covered an unprecedented number of input factors spanning a wide range of physics.

## LLNL: Pam Hamilton

- Purple integration
- As the Purple Project Integration Leader, Pam was instrumental in ensuring the success of the installation and integration of the Purple system leading to its "general availability" status on November 6, 2006.
- Throughout the project, Pam maintained a very professional demeanor and drove the entire team to a successful conclusion, meeting a major ASC L1 milestone in December 2006.

## LLNL: Dave Fox 

- Purple integration
- As a team leader within the Purple integration team, Dave was directly responsible for the installation and integration of Purple.
- David oversaw in a very direct and day-to-day fashion all of this effort which culminated in the “general availability” of Purple in November 2006 and the completion of a major ASC Program Level 1 milestone in December 2006.

## LLNL: Tom Spelce 

- Application performance optimization on BlueGene/L and Purple.
- Tom led the Livermore effort on Scaling Codes on Purple's Environment (SCOPE).
- Tom assisted users and developers of the LLNL/Hydra and Sandia/Allegra codes on Purple. He also assisted LANL in addressing run-time efficiency issues on both Purple and BGL.
- Tom worked with IBM Watson researchers to carry out the HPCC Class I and II benchmarks on BGL, which swept the performance awards at SuperComputing.

## LANL: Randy Baker 

- Linear Deterministic Transport Applications.
- Randy contributed in the area of modern, multi-physics codes toward the development of an ASC predictive simulation capability.  Randy's major contributions have been in the implementation of advanced physics models in the modern codes.  This has been a high-impact, multi-lab effort.

## LANL: John Daly 

- Use of Tri-lab ASC Capability Platforms.
- John has made an extensive contribution as an early user on all ASC platforms including the Q machine, Red Storm, Purple, and BlueGene/L.  His efforts have helped to expedite the porting and use of ASC codes on these machines, as well as the integration and stabilization of these machines early in their life cycle.

## LANL: Mark Chadwick 

- Mark has made significant technical contributions to the program in advancing the predictive simulation capability in various capacities, in addition to his program and line management activities.
- Mark played a significant role in developing the Predictive Capability Framework.  He has made world-class contributions to nuclear physics models and databases, including the ENDF B-VII table.  In addition, he has stimulated and enhanced  the newest developments in Primary Physics Models.  He has also been seminal in integrating experimental data into validation efforts for these models.  He has been the lead in developing the new Attributions program.

## LANL: Kim New 

- Full System Modeling of Nuclear Weapons.
- Kim pioneered and championed the rigorous use of ASC tools for full-system modeling of nuclear weapons towards the purposes of DSW and RRW.  Her technical leadership was sine qua non for the acceptance of ASC full-system modeling as an important tool for stockpile stewardship.
