These tools will represent complex geometries, solve diverse equations, simplify the execution of codes assembled of modules written in different languages, evaluate and enhance the performance of applications codes, and dynamically steer calculations for example, changing the convergence threshold of a module. The second part of the program funds a mix of short and long-term R&D on tools for making collaboratories themselves possible.

He is developing bioremediation methods for cleaning up transition metal actinide pollutants and has done microscopy work at several locations, including LBNL. About four years ago a group from LBNL asked whether he was interested in participating in Distributed Collaborative Experiment Environments, a program that would enable him to use the Advanced Light Source (ALS)

Early on in the collaboratory, at one of the quarterly review meetings, a representative from Cummins Engine Company showed a slide comparing his analysis with the latest data from a Sandia National Laboratory experiment. The Sandia experimentalist, John Dec.

Instead of sending massive amounts of data to individual routers, the Internet's Multicast Backbone, Mbone for short, routes real-time communications over the Net by distributing and replicating the data stream only as needed, thus efficiently distributing data packets without congesting any single route. Mbone was created by Van Jacobson of LBNL; Steve Deering, then of Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center; and Steve Casner of the University of Southern California.

The location had good network connectivity: the University of Regensburg is part of a 225 megabytes/second ring that includes the Universities of Nurnburg, Berlin, and Frankfurt. Frankfurt maintains a direct connection into the Energy Sciences Network in the United States, the research network serving DOE scientists to which ORNL is connected via a T-3 link.
