TIME: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
PLACE: RMCIC Panther Hollow Conference Room, 4th Floor

SPEAKER: Nathan DeBardeleben Los Alamos National Laboratory

TITLE: Data Analytics of Supercomputer Field Data for Reliability

ABSTRACT:
In this talk, Dr. DeBardeleben will discuss results from data analysis of super- computer field data in collaboration with AMD. He will talk about neutron- induced errors and how his team tests electronics in the neutron beam at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Results from tens of billions of device hours will be shown related to DRAM, SRAM, and the impacts of error correction codes on the reliability of some of the most powerful super- computers in the world.

BIO:
