Fusion Reaction: How AI, HPC Are Energizing Science
NVIDIA News, February 28th, 2023
A principal investigator at Lawrence Livermore shares how machine learning on the world's fastest systems catalyzed the lab's breakthrough.
Briaan Spears says his children will enjoy a more sustainable planet, thanks in part to AI and high performance computing (HPC) simulations.
'I believe I'll see fusion energy in my lifetime, and I'm confident my daughters will see a fusion-powered world,' said the 45-year-old principal investigator at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory who helped demonstrate the physics of the clean and abundant power source, making headlines worldwide.
Results from the experiment hit Spears' inbox at 5:30 a.m. on Dec. 5 last year.
