Jeremy Smith, Xiaolin Cheng and Loukas Petridis of ORNL have been awarded a DOE Innovative
and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) award
providing supercomputer time on the ORNL TITAN supercomputer for their work in
BESC and a Biofuels SFA. The work will
be on a generic plant cell wall and its deconstruction for bioenergy for 100
million core hours for three years. Access
to high performance computing resources offers unique opportunities to
bioenergy research. Using INCITE we will be able to simulate many biomass
components, such as cellulose lignin and hemicellulose, reaching longer lengthscales
that that are not accessible using conventional computational resources. Longer
lengthscales enable a tighter integration of computation with neutron
scattering experiments performed at ORNL when researching for rational design
of more efficient biofuel production.
