Data growth and collaboration needs have turned data management into a complex and unpleasant undertaking. Often data lives on a filesystem, its context is in someone’s memory and its discussion spread in multiple email chains. This fragmentation curtails data use or reuse, impedes progress and reduces knowledge retention over time.  SeedMeLab, developed by San Diego…

Now running on Microsoft Windows 10, Thermo Scientific Chromeleon 7 Process Analyzer (Chromeleon 7 PA) software optimizes industrial process monitoring. When used with on-line ion chromatography (IC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) PA systems, the software drives operational efficiencies and enables early, accurate detection of contaminants or irregularities that could impact product quality or system…

Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Cluster Integrity, Exception Resolution and Reclustering Algorithm (CIERRA) ensures that all lightning – regardless of size – is represented properly and adds both context and in-depth descriptions for each flash. This information improves the understanding of lightning and situational awareness of lightning hazards. CIERRA is the first and only software that…

QUIC-Fire is the first laptop-capable, real-time speed wildland fire prediction software to explicitly model a fire’s two-way interaction with the atmosphere and 3D heterogeneous vegetation — the very factors that drive fire and are essential to simulating complex site-specific wildfire and prescribed fire scenarios. QUIC-Fire transforms a fire practitioner’s ability to assess risk, optimize fuel…

For R&D professionals working in the scientific and medical fields and yearning for ways to visualize, communicate and comprehend their work in true 3D, Looking Glass Factory has now integrated its immersive holographic displays with two software applications from one of the providers in open source R&D software, Kitware: ParaView and 3D Slicer. With ParaView,…

Digital analysis and physical testing are becoming increasingly integrated in the pursuit of optimized product design and development across a wide swath of industries. With the release of its VGSTUDIO MAX version 3.4 software, Volume Graphics, a CT-data analysis and visualization company, has added and augmented important functionalities that help designers and manufacturers capture and…

Faculty and students at Purdue University now have access to cybersecurity research software developed at Sandia National Laboratories. This marks the first time Sandia has collaborated with an academic community to make its cyber software widely available. Sandia has previously invited academic collaborators to use cyber research software at the labs or by connecting to…

The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has selected Southwest Research Institute to provide the state’s traffic management software solutions. Under a $1.4 million, three-year contract, SwRI will deploy and support the ActiveITS Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) for statewide use. “The unique thing that SwRI’s ActiveITS brings to the table is the ability to share…

    The new software, VoroCrust, offers a novel way to create digital representations, called meshes, which are used by scientists in many disciplines that work with geometric models of all kinds of parts — from rotors to wheels to protective equipment. Complex meshes often have curves, sharp edges or holes. Once created, they look…

Kryon, a full-cycle automation solution provider known for its customer-centric approach to robotic process automation (RPA) and process discovery, unveils ConsoleX, an advanced web-based management and monitoring dashboard that lets its users configure, schedule and manage virtual workforces comprised of Kryon robots from any location, all in real time. ConsoleX further strengthens Kryon’s Full Cycle…

DISCUS Software Company, headquartered in Columbus, OH, has announced a premier authorized partnership agreement with Adaptive Corporation. Adaptive will sell and support DISCUS’ First Article Inspection (FAI) software solutions to businesses operating in aerospace, defense, automotive, medical and various other manufacturing industries that have stringent quality requirements. DISCUS specializes in automation of the first article…

Southwest Research Institute is introducing Floodlight™, a novel software tool that efficiently discovers the vast numbers of chemical components—previously known and unknown—present in the food, air, drugs and products we are exposed to every day. This cheminformatics machine learning tool integrates algorithms with analytical chemistry software to provide deep analysis of gas chromatography mass spectrometry…

A University of Waterloo researcher has spearheaded the development of a software tool that can provide conclusive answers to some of the world’s most fascinating questions. The tool, which combines supervised machine learning with digital signal processing (ML-DSP), could for the first time make it possible to definitively answer questions such as how many different…

High-performance computing (HPC)—the use of supercomputers and parallel processing techniques to solve large computational problems—is of great use in the scientific community. For example, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory rely on HPC to analyze the data they collect at the large-scale experimental facilities on site and to model complex…

A new, free, open-source software reliably predicts how damage from hurricanes, ice storms, earthquakes and other extreme events will restrict power delivery from utility grids. The Severe Contingency Solver for Electric Power Transmission is the only software available—commercially or open-source—that reliably supports analysis of extreme events that cause widespread damage. “The software was designed specifically to…

Artificial intelligence may soon help transportation agencies and first responders determine the best evacuation routes during floods such as those affecting portions of Missouri and the Midwest, thanks to the work of Missouri S&T researchers. Drs. Suzanna Long and Steve Corns of Missouri S&T’s engineering management and systems engineering department are using a form of AI known…

A new area in artificial intelligence involves using algorithms to automatically design machine-learning systems known as neural networks, which are more accurate and efficient than those developed by human engineers. But this so-called neural architecture search (NAS) technique is computationally expensive. A state-of-the-art NAS algorithm recently developed by Google to run on a squad of…

A new distributed file system for high-performance computing distributed March 14 via the software collaboration site GitHub provides unprecedented performance for creating, updating and managing extreme numbers of files.  “We designed DeltaFS to enable the creation of trillions of files,” said Brad Settlemyer, a Los Alamos computer scientist and project leader. Los Alamos National Laboratory…
