Exxon Mobil and NCSA Achieve New Levels of Scalability on complex Oil & Gas Reservoir Simulation Models
February 16, 2017 by
“This breakthrough has unlocked new potential for ExxonMobil’s geoscientists and engineers to make more informed and timely decisions on the development and management of oil and gas reservoirs,” said Tom Schuessler, president of ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company. “As our industry looks for cost-effective and environmentally responsible ways to find and develop oil and gas fields, we rely on this type of technology to model the complex processes that govern the flow of oil, water and gas in various reservoirs.”
Weather Prediction and the Scalability Challenge
May 26, 2016 by
“Weather prediction using high performance computing relies on having physically based models of the atmosphere that can deliver forecasts well in advance of the weather actually happening. ECMWF has embarked on a scalability program together with the NWP and climate modeling community in Europe. The talk will give an overview of the principles underlying numerical weather prediction as well as a description of the HPC related challenges that are facing the NWP and climate modeling communities today.”
Cray User Group Focuses on Scalability for Weather Forecasting
May 13, 2016 by
Global efforts to bring about crucial improvements in supercomputing efficiency and energy usage were placed center stage this week as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) welcomed users and vendors from around the world to London for the Cray User Group 2016 conference.
Cray CS-Storm Takes GPUs to New Levels of Scalability at SC15
December 10, 2015 by
“In this video from SC15, Amar Shan describes how the the Cray CS-Storm takes GPUs to new levels of scalability. Systems like the CS-Storm have propelled Cray to power 50 percent of the TOP500 supercomputers. While the Cray CS-Storm started out successfully in government sectors, the systems have gained traction in various commercial sectors including Oil & Gas.”

This Week in HPC: Searching for Scalability in China and Tracking Criminals in Canada
August 1, 2014 by
In this episode of This Week in HPC, Michael Feldman and Addison Snell from Intersect360 Research discuss recent reports that the Tianhe-2 supercomputer is underutilized. After that, they look at Canada’s efforts to track criminals using Big Data.
A Cost and Scalability Comparison of the Dragonfly vs. the Fat Tree
September 18, 2013 by
The dragonfly topology has been proposed as an efficient alternative to the fat tree. This talk presents a study of the blocking and scalability characteristics of the dragonfly, and compares this to the well-known fat tree topology.
A Passing Lane for the Scalability Limit
July 3, 2013 by
Over at Admin HPC, Dell’s Jeff Layton writes that parallelized applications eventually hit a scalability limit where adding processors no longer increases performance. The good news is that you can use Amdahl’s law as a guide to where to concentrate your resources to improve performance. The first explanation for this behavior is described by Amdahl’s […]
