Sriram Krishnamoorthy is one of many scientists reaching for the next step in supercomputer evolution, the exascale computer. In April 2013, DOE awarded him $2.5 million over five years to explore ways to advance exascale computing through their <a href="http://science.energy.gov/news/in-the-news/2013/05-07-13/">Early Career Research Program</a>.

While women make up slightly more
than half of the US workforce and half of the college-educated workforce, they
are underrepresented in the nation&#39;s science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics, or STEM, jobs. To encourage more women to consider STEM careers,
the Department of Energy built a webpage with articles about women who work in
STEM areas for the Department, including the national labs. As they state on
their page: &quot;We hope that <a href="http://energy.gov/diversity/listings/women-energy">the stories</a> of
these, and many more, women in STEM can inspire others as they think about the
future. Only 24% of the STEM workforce is female, an alarming gap as over 51%
of the workforce overall is female.&quot;

<strong>Results:</strong> The productivity of a group of colleagues on a project is always more efficient when required information is sent as soon as it becomes available, rather than sending a request for information when it&#39;s needed. In the same way, computer algorithms that send data from one process to another when the data becomes available will be more efficient than one that is requested when it will be used. To facilitate designing such algorithms within the Global Arrays programming model framework, DOE researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory designed a new put_notify capability that allows a process to initiate and complete data to another process without synchronization. The novel feature is a notify element that the receiving process can use to asynchronously determine the completion of the data transfer.

Darren Kerbyson and Sriram Krishnamoorthy, computer scientists at the Department of Energy&#39;s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, are members of project teams that have been awarded time on leadership class computing systems. The allotments were awarded through INCITE, a DOE Office of Science program that allocates time on the agency&#39;s leadership-class systems to enable high-impact, grand-challenge research that could not otherwise be performed.

<strong>Results: </strong><span>&nbsp;</span>When is the plague not the plague? When it&rsquo;s a
different strain of the same bacteria. In two strains of the bacteria genus <em>Yersinia</em> &mdash;a highly lethal pathogen and
its less-virulent form&mdash;scientists performed multi-omic analyses to gain
insights how they differ. They found that how the genes in both are expressed
contribute to the striking difference in the diseases caused by these
pathogens. The research team included scientists from Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory, the J. Craig Venter Institute, and the University of Texas
Medical Branch.
