Systems studies department FY78 activity report. Vol. I. Computing and applied mathematics. [Sandia Laboratories, Livermore]
The Systems Studies Department at Sandia Laboratories, Livermore, has two primary responsibilities: to provide computational and mathematical services and to perform ''systems analysis'' studies. The computational services include applied mathematics, numerical analysis, programming, computer graphics, and management information systems, as well as operation, maintenance, and enhancement of the SLL computer center. The systems analysis studies attempt to evaluate the relative value of alternative concepts and systems. FY78 activities reflect Sandia Laboratories interests and programs, and include studies relevant to nuclear weapons and national security, solar energy, energy storage technology, and nuclear materials safeguards. The FY78 major activities and highlights for the Computing and Applied Mathematics activities are covered in this report. The work is divided into the following categories: computer operations and planning; applied mathematics, numerical analysis and programing; computer graphics; management information systems. In addition, two special topics are included: a report on the role of computing in the Nuclear Weapon Program and an approach to modeling of combustion processes. Appendixes on staff, publications, computer configuration, etc., are included. 7 figures. (RWR)
