About CSRI

The Computer Science Research Institute (CSRI) brings university faculty and students to Sandia for focused collaborative research on Department of Energy (DOE) computer and computational science problems. CSRI is organized under the DOE Stockpile Computing Program and provides an opportunity for university researchers to learn about problems in computer and computational science at DOE laboratories. Participants conduct leading-edge research, interact with scientists and engineers at the laboratories, and help transfer the results of their research to programs at the labs.

Some specific research interest areas include the following:

• Scalable solvers
• Optimization
• Adaptivity and mesh refinement
• Graph-based, discrete, and combinatorial algorithms
• Uncertainty estimation
• Mesh generation
• Dynamic load-balancing
• Virus and other malicious-code defense
• Visualization
• Scalable cluster computers and heterogeneous computers
• Data-intensive computing
• Environments for scalable computing
• Parallel input/output
• Advanced architectures
• Theoretical computer science
