CD. This item is still in its original plastic wrap. The rear of the sleeve lists the contents: Overview, Defense Applications and Modeling; Simulation and Computer Science, Integrated Computing Systems, University Partnerships, Special Projects, ASCI's future, ASCI's Multidisciplinary Applications. Among the subsections are: Visualization Technilogies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Visualization Technologies at Sandia National Laboratories, ASCI White at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Science at the Level 1 Alliances, and Technology Prospectus. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) established the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative (ASCI) in 1996. The goal of ASCI is to simulate the results of new weapons designs as well as the effects of aging on existing and new designs, all in the absence of underground nuclear tests. The ASCI is an applications-driven effort with a goal to develop reliable computational models of the processes involved in the design, manufacture, and degradation of nuclear weapons. Based on discussions with scientists and engineers with expertise in weapons design, manufacturing, and in computational physics, a goal of simulating full-system, three-dimensional nuclear burn and safety simulation processes by the year 2004 was established. A number of applications-based milestones were identified to mark the progress from current simulation capabilities to full-system simulation capabilities. Codes development to simulate casting, material aging, safety, forging, welding of microstructures, and so on. Condition: As new.
