Data scientists and developers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are trying to find out, exploring some of the latest artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to help make high-performance computers more reliable and less costly to run.

The models in this case are artificial neural networks trained to monitor and predict the behavior of a scientific computing cluster, where torrents of numbers are constantly crunched. The goal is to help system administrators quickly identify and respond to troublesome computing jobs, reducing downtime for scientists processing data from their experiments.

NEWPORT, R.I. – The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) hosted its 7th Future Warfighting Symposium (FWS), Aug. 9 – 10. The symposium began the NWC academic year with a theme of “Innovation and the Future of Joint Warfare,” featuring guest speakers and panels discussing emerging and disruptive technologies, cyber warfare, and space operations that are changing the character of war. NWC welcomed a broad collection of subject-matter experts addressing a multitude of topics identified by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as special areas of emphasis for professional military education. Keynote speakers included Dr. Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google and chair of the DoD Defense Innovation Board, as well as Dr. Peter W. Singer, a Strategist at New America and the founder and managing partner at Useful Fiction LLC. Established in 1884, NWC informs today’s decision-makers and educates tomorrow’s leaders by providing educational experiences and learning opportunities that develop their ability to anticipate and prepare strategically for the future, strengthen the foundations of peace, and create a decisive warfighting advantage.
