Planetarium show: Distant Worlds- Alien Life?
Performance
WSU Pullman - Sloan Hall

“Distant Worlds – Alien Life?” explores the possibility of life on other planets. It gives the limits of biology as we know it, then intersects those constraints with what we know about Milky Way exoplanets. Imaginative visualizations of possible life forms are animated in a fulldome experience.

Chemistry proposal defense — Nate Buzitis, chemistry PhD student
Workshop / Seminar
WSU Pullman - Fulmer Hall

Recent developments in the production of microdroplets have demonstrated that chemical reactions can be accelerated by orders of magnitude. While the exact reasoning of kinetic increase is not fully known, very little research has occurred for inorganic reactions within microdroplets. In conjunction with a recently constructed ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) system, kinetic information and stability constants can be determined for the products of microdroplet reactions. IM-MS allows for increased confidence in the determination of the collisional-cross section (CCS) as well as the mobility of the ion.

EECS Colloquium: Tunable and Low-cost Adaptivity for HPC Software to Easily Speed Up Applications on Supercomputers by Vivek Kale, Computer Scientist, Brookhaven National Laboratory
Online - Online

Emerging and next-generation supercomputers have nodes that are becoming more powerful and complex, with a set of hosts, e.g., CPUs, and a set of devices, e.g., GPUs, on their nodes. During an application’s execution on such a supercomputer, load imbalances occurring within a node – induced by the application or induced by system noise and other complexities of the node’s hardware – slow down the application’s execution significantly.

EECS Colloquium: Compiler directed resilience techniques for HPC applications — Dr. Chao Chen, Staff Researcher, CoCoPie
Online - Online

Transient faults are becoming a significant concern for emerging extreme-scale high performance computing (HPC) systems. This nascent problem is exacerbated by technology trends toward smaller transistor size, higher circuit density and the use of near-threshold voltage techniques to save power. They could corrupt the execution of long-running scientific applications by leading to either SDCs (incorrect values in outputs) or soft failures (abnormal termination, e.g., process crashes).
