Modelling And Hazard Analysis Of Sandia National Laboratories/underwriters Laboratories' Experiments

Emerging Partnership Strategy at Sandia National Laboratories

Research has linked the ability to partner and use alliances as a competitive tool as a critical component of agility. Companies that are able to quickly couple and uncouple themselves with other entities as needed demonstrate agile characteristics of reconjigurability, modulari~ and scalability. The case presented demonstrates these agile characteristics as well as methods employed to reach th...

Fast Ignition Studies at Sandia National Laboratories

This talk will describe ongoing and planned fast ignition theoretical and experimental work using the Z-machine in concert with the upgraded Z-Beamlet/PW laser system. Z can produce x-ray powers of 100-250TW, x-ray energies 1-1.8MJ, and > 200eV radiation temperatures and thus represents an interesting platform for compressing large quantities of matter for use as fast ignition targets. Soon Z w...

Lessons Learned from Early Microelectronics Production at Sandia National Laboratories

During the 1980s Sandia designed, developed, fabricated, tested, and delivered hundreds of thousands of radiation hardened integrated circuits (IC) for use in weapons and satellites. Initially, Sandia carried out all phases, design through delivery, so that development of next generation ICs and production of current generation circuits were carried out simultaneously. All this changed in the m...

Ray Tuminaro Chercheur senior, Sandia National Laboratories USA Rapporteur

Large-scale scientific applications and industrial simulations are nowadays fully integrated in many engineering areas. They involve the solution of large sparse linear systems. The use of large high performance computers is mandatory to solve these problems. The main topic of this research work was the study of a numerical technique that had attractive features for an efficient solution of lar...
