Advances in Leadership Computing, the first of a two-part CiSE Special Issue on Leadership Computing, is now available online. In two consecutive publications, this special issue will explore nine projects that are using leadership systems to expand the frontiers of their fields.
The September/October issue features five articles on topics that include simulating the Universe, enhancing the understanding of wall-bounded turbulence, devising an approach that computes the energy dispatch of electrical power grid systems under uncertainty, gleaning new insights into fusion plasma turbulence, and a recent advance in quantum-mechanical computational methods that can be used to search for optimal materials such as batteries and photo-electrochemical cells.
