Notable documented facts

  • Sandia began in 1945 as Z Division, the ordnance design, testing, and assembly arm of Los Alamos National Laboratory. It became Sandia Laboratory in 1948; Sandia Corporation was set up in 1949 as a Western Electric company to manage it, and a second site opened in California's Livermore Valley in 1956. Sandia Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Martin Marietta (later Lockheed Martin) in 1993, before NTESS took over in 2017.2
  • Sandia's AI research page describes work in secure AI, computing co-design, and scientific machine learning, along with partnerships with industry, government, and academia that support DOE AI initiatives. The page also links to Sandia news on analog in-memory and neuromorphic computing hardware for AI.3
  • Sandia's GitHub organization publishes PyApprox, a Python library for surrogate modeling, uncertainty quantification, and decision-making under uncertainty with NumPy and PyTorch backends, under the MIT License with copyright held by NTESS.45
