Video: When Neutron Stars Collide
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this set of supercomputer simulations from the Max Planck Institute showing how merging neutron stars can power a short gamma-ray burst.
A spoonful of matter from a neutron star the size of a sugar cube would weigh as much as the water in all the Great Lakes.
Video: Sunway Bluelight Super Based on Chinese Processors Starts Operation
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this story announcing that the Chinese Sunway Bluelight supercomputer is now fully operational after a three month trial run in Jinan. Sunway BlueLight is the first supercomputer built entirely of components engineered and built in China.
Video: Appro Takes HPC Momentum into 2012
Our Video Sunday feature continues with Appro’s Mike Vildibill and Anthony Kenisky discussing the company’s recent HPC wins and what they see coming up for supercomputing in 2012.
Video: Beowulf Bash at SC11
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this reel from the Beowulf Bash at SC11. Get ready for best party ever coming to SC12 in Salt Lake City!
Video: Time Lapse View of Earth from Space
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this remarkable piece showing time-lapsed photographs taken onboard the International Space Station from August to October, 2011 at an altitude of around 350 km. A tip of the hat goes to Michael König for producing this film.
Video: A Closer Look at China’s Homegrown Sunway BlueLight Super
In this video, we get a closer look at the components of the Sunway BlueLight supercomputer in China. The recently announced Petaflop machine is based on a Chinese 16-core processor, rumored to be a derivative of the DEC Alpha 21164. Sunway BlueLight is expected to come in somewhere around number 20 in the pending TOP500 list, which is expected to be release on Nov. 15, 2011.
Video: National Geographic – Storing and Retrieving a World of Data with Spectra Logic
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this presentation by Kyle Knack, Director of Infrastructure Systems at National Geographic. The company uses Spectra Logic automated tape libraries and high-speed networks to store vast amounts of digital media. Recorded at the 2011 Spectra Logic Press Day in Boulder.
Video: AustinMan Virtual Human Tests Cell Phone Radiation
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this fascinating story from the University of Texas at Austin.
We all carry cell phones, yet we know little about how their electromagnetic fields affect our physiology. Enter AustinMan, a virtual human as guinea pig.
In 2009 the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded a five-year interdisciplinary study at The University of Texas at Austin to address the growing debate about the effects of microwave radiation. After two years, Electrical & Computer Engineering Assistant Professor Ali Yilmaz and his colleagues have built one of the highest-resolution electromagnetic human models to date: AustinMan. The model is helping to determine the effects of microwaves from wireless devices on the body.

Video: Tsubame 2.0 Supercomputer to Analyze Earthquake Data
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this interview with Professor Satoshi Matsuoka, who describes how the Tokyo Institute of Technology’s Tsubame 2.0 supercomputer will be used to analyse data gathered from the recent earthquake and Tsunami in Japan.
Video: Computational Chemistry – The Anatomy of a Supercomputer
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this lecture by Dr Ilya Kuprov at the University of Oxford: Computational Chemistry – The Anatomy of a Supercomputer. Download the slides (PDF) or check out related courses at Spindynamics.org.
Video: Richard Feynman on Science and Beauty
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this amazing piece featuring the words of the late Richard Feynman.
After dismissing the popular notion that scientists are unable to truly appreciate beauty in nature, physicist Richard Feynman (1918 – 1988) explains what a scientist really is and does. Here are some of the most memorable lines from this beautiful mix of Feynman quotes and (mostly) BBC and NASA footage.
I think this one is worth watching in HD, folks. Set aside a minute and take it in. HPC is very much at the heart of the science today and its search for answers, but sometimes I find things like this that make me think about the questions.
A Tip of the Hat goes to ajlopez for pointing us to this video.
Video: Simulation of External Aerodynamics with GPU Acceleration
Our Video Sunday feature continues with this simulation that comes courtesy of FluiDyna GmbH. Shown is a BMW X3 fast flow simulation using LBultra within the RTT design suite DeltaGen and rapid review of aerodynamic features overlayed in a photo-realism display. Turn-around is 25X faster with GPU acceleration.
