Why 2014 is the Year that HPC Matters
December 20, 2013 by
In this video, Michele De Lorenzi and Rich Brueckner discuss why HPC matters. It’s the SC14 theme for next year in New Orleans, but the time is now for all of us in the HPC community to start banging on the drum.
How CRISP is Tackling the Data Deluge in International Science
December 20, 2013 by
“CRISP is helping to standardize data-access through a common identity system, or federated identity, allowing identities to transcend facilities or countries, and providing scientists with a single online identity or login to access all their data in one place – regardless of where it’s from.”
A Significant Shift in Parallelism at SC13
December 20, 2013 by
“This was a big year for us as we closed with many milestones in what I call a Significant Paradigm shift in Parallelism. The most significant milestone was that the OpenMP Consortium has released OpenMP 4.0 in 2013 with new parallelism features that are productive, portable, and performant across C, C++, and Fortran.”
Building an Extensible Storage Ecosystem with WOS
December 20, 2013 by
“To support our goal of building a statewide research community, we’re creating an extensible storage environment to increase collaboration and data sharing. DDN’s WOS technology will provide the vital storage framework while leveraging the essence and simplicity of cloud infrastructure to help SSERCA broaden its data-centric research capabilities.”
Why 2014 Will be a Breakout Year for HPC Virtualization
December 19, 2013 by
“I’m doubling down this year on the continued rise of internal use of virtualization for HPC workloads, either as vCAC-based private clouds or vSphere deployments. Why? Because in 2013 we saw a big jump in interest within our customer base for virtualizing HPC workloads, especially those in Electronic Design Automation (EDA), Life Sciences, and Financial Services.”
SKA Array to Produce a Galaxy of Data
December 19, 2013 by
The SKA project telescope array could someday produce data at a rate of multiple petabits per second, which is 100 times greater than current global internet traffic.
Free Supercomputing Courses – Online Seminars to Resume in the New Year
December 19, 2013 by
Looking for some HPC know-how? The National Institute for Computational Sciences (NICS) invites you to join a series of free online HPC seminars.
Earthquake Simulations on Titan Make for Safer Buildings
December 19, 2013 by
Researchers at the Southern California Earthquake Centre (SCEC) used ORNL’s Titan machine to simulate a major earthquake at high frequencies up to 10Hz. The calculations will give structural engineers the data required to make predictions about the scale of the damage to buildings caused by the next big earthquake to hit the San Andreas Fault.
Slidecast: Huawei HPC Solutions
December 18, 2013 by
“The E9000 is designed to overcome the cluster networking limitations of previous generations of blade servers,” said Jane Li, COO, Huawei Enterprise USA. “The Tecal E9000 was designed for application flexibility, as well as to support the next three generations of powerful processors, and the next decade of network technology that will dominate HPC clouds.”
