Simulation

Aircraft engineered with failure in mind may last longerNew design approach tailors planes to fly in the face of likely failures.

Nuclear science and engineering graduate students win NEUP fellowshipsBlack, Boyd and Shaner among 31 recipients

Simulating tomorrow’s chipsA new system makes hardware models of multicore chips more efficient, easier to design and more reliable.

Testing unbuilt chipsA new software-simulation system promises much more accurate evaluation of promising — but potentially fault-ridden — multicore-chip designs.

Supercomputing on a cell phoneFor complex problems whose form can be anticipated but whose particulars can’t, new software can offer approximate solutions in seconds.
