nbc bay area's bob redell joins us live from outside the lawrence livermore lab in livermore.s see how fast is this computer, bob? well, good morning to marcus. laura, for some perspective, it would take about a million of these smartphones to match the processing power of this new supercomputer and what it could calculate in just one second. that's the lawrence livermore lab behind me. the entrance here off east avenue. right now, the department of energy and national nuclear security administration, they're in. they're dedicating el capitan. that's the name of the new computer here at the lawrence livermore lab. el capitan is the lab's newest supercomputer that came online, actually towards the end of last year. was assembled by hp using chips by amd. takes up 7500ft■!s. generas so much heat it requires 28,000 tons of cooling via liquid. for comparison, the typical home requires only 4 to 5 tons of air conditioning, and it runs at a speed of roughly 1.7 exaflops, which means el capitan can perform 1.7 quintillion math problems per second. that's the number 17 with 17 zeros a

ahead of a planned environmental impact report, the lawrence livermore lab will host a virtual public hearing wednesday. an event giant is encouraging everyone concerned to attend. >> it's a crucial for the public to show they're paying attention and get out there and participate in the public comment period on this scoping period so that we have a robust draft document when it comes out that reflects the public's concern. >> in livermore, tim jonze, abc seven news. >> all right. we want to turn now to the weather as we take a live look out at the conditions right now. it may be dry for the moment, but there is rain on the way. abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel is here with the details. i almost thought it was going to come early. sandhya. it was so gloomy this morning. >> it was ama. you know what? there was a lot of fog and cloud cover and you're thinking, wow, it's looking a little dreary. well, let me show you what we can expect. live doppler seven is tracking the first in a series of storms, and it is going to start to get wet around here as early as friday. we welcome t

this morning here on today in the bay, we're going to talk about this new supercomputer at lawrence livermore lab. and economists worried about new inflation. i'll tell you what's causing the price hikes. plus, i'm sorry i'm late, but rocco had to go to the potty. rocco's just a rock. well, rocco needed a bathroom. oh, well, elmo's glad you're here, because now elmo and zoe can start our playdate. a big celebration on sesame street. but before that, they're taking over rockefeller center. we're going to show you what the muppets are up to this morning ahead of their big season premiere. keep it here. you're watching today in the bay. pete g. writes, "my tween wants a new phone. how do i not break the bank?" we got you, pete. xfinity mobile was designed to save you money and gives you access to wifi speeds up to a gig. so you get high speeds for low prices. better than getting low speeds for high prices. right, bruce? -jealous? yeah, look at that. -honestly. someone get a helmet on this guy. xfinity internet customers, ask how to get an unlimited line free for a year, plus a free 5g phone. a c

this is the view looking toward the ocean from the lawrence livermore lab. and you can still see just a little bit of a pinkish orange glow and word great shape because our temperatures today were a little bit warmer than normal. typically this time of year we'd be seeing high temperatures in the 50's. but today as warm as a half a dozen degrees, more that put us in the 60's pretty much everywhere and temperatures right now we're starting to drop even as the sun has set. we're starting to see things cool off mainly in 50's right now. napa. 49 degrees. so it's dropping down. we're going to see some cold overnight. temperatures frosty chilly cold this morning was cold. in fact, there was a frost advisory this morning and some areas did hit the freezing mark, including santa rosa and napa in concord tomorrow morning. we could see much of the same, although there is no frost advisory in effect. still, a lot of numbers will dot dive down into the 30's again, napa. 38 degrees. and 35 for that. and he act. 36 livermore. so the inland valleys, some of the coolest sp

and there's new technology in there and of course, we can't go into specifics, but between lawrence livermore's technology that they've inserted and sandia, this is a really amazing advancement in how we think about these systems. there's a lot of stuff coming through, kind of laboratory scale that's coming through that's really going to change the way that we think about our safety themes for nuclear weapons systems. so i'm really excited about that coming through. >> so the next topic we're going to move onto number two and that's infrastructure and kim, relax, i'm going to start with james this time. we'll start on the other end. so in infrastructure we know that some of our infrastructure was built 75 or 80 years ago, and need to be upgraded. and the enterprise blueprint that we all talked about and we all contributed to, it's a great description for the must-have and as the past administrator said, it's not a wish list, it's essential to the mission to support for the next 25 years, so with that, what are the key things you need at your lab to effectively carry out the enterprise blueprint

the public will get a chance to hear directly from lawrence livermore lab tonight.ns to upgrade the lab's plutonium facility. some residents fear the upgrade might mean higher plutonium levels at the lab, transported along nearby roads and highways. the lab says it will discuss the potential environmental impact tonight. all right. that's going to do it for this edition of the fast forward. i'll be back in 30 minutes with kari with more news my life is full of questions... how do i clean an aioli stain? use tide. do i need to pretreat guacamole? not with tide. why do we even buy napkins? thankfully, tide's the answer to almost all of them. —do crabs have eyebws? —except that one. for all of life's laundry questions... it's got to be tide. your best defense against erosion and cavities is strong enamel. nothing beats it. i recommend pronamel active shield because it actively shields the enamel to defend against erosion and cavities. i think that this product is a game changer for my patients. try pronamel mouthwash. my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis held me back
