Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a new method that more than doubles computer processing speeds while using 75% less memory to analyze plant imaging data. The advance removes a major computational bottleneck and accelerates AI-guided discoveries for the development of high-performing crops. The new method is detailed in a paper that was presented at the International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC25) held in November 2025.
