EuroHPC Issues Call to Host Industrial Supercomputers: March 4 Deadline

Feb. 8, 2024 — The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has launched a call for expression of interest to select hosting entities for industrial-grade supercomputers, which will be acquired by the EuroHPC JU together with a consortium of private partners. The EuroHPC JU will select the hosting entities for the industrial-grade supercomputers and the associated […]

ALCF Student Training Series: Intro to AI-Driven Science on Supercomputers, Feb. 6-March 26

The deadline is Monday, Jan. 15, to register for the free, online series “Introduciton to AI-Driven Science on Supercomputers,” hosted by the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF). The series will focus on teaching the fundamentals of using world-class supercomputers to advance the use of AI for research. Registration and other information can be found here. […]

HPE and Univ. of Stuttgart to Build ‘Transitional’ and Exascale Supercomputers at HLRS

HPE and the University of Stuttgart have announced they will build two new supercomputers at HLRS, the High Performance Computing Centre in Stuttgart. In the first stage, a transitional supercomputer, called Hunter, will begin operation in 2025, followed in 2027 with the installation of Herder, an exascale ….

Summer Interns Gain Hands-On Experience with Argonne Supercomputers

This summer, the ALCF hosted over 40 college students to work on real-world computing projects in areas ranging from scientific visualization to materials science to digital twins. Every summer, the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE’s Argonne National Laboratory, hosts a new group […]

@HPCpodcast: The AI Gold Rush, Virtual Quantum, an Advance for Silicon Photonics and Nuclear Energy for Future Supercomputers

In what may become a regular segment of the @HPCpodcast, Shahin and Doug cover important recent developments in HPC and AI that signal changes in markets and policies. Always, we keep an eye on where these developments fit into the big picture, what it all means. This time, we look at what may be AI’s “iPhone moment” (you guessed it: ChatGPT) and the ensuing AI gold rush that’s been gaining massive investment momentum since about 2015, much to the happiness of NVIDIA shareholders; virtual quantum computers; and how advances in silicon photonics could change the chip – and therefore the technology – industry….

Quantum Computing Users Work Alongside Classical Supercomputers: An Interview with Travis Humble at Oak Ridge Lab

As the high-performance computing (HPC) community looks beyond the brink of Moore’s Law for solutions to accelerate future systems, one technology at the forefront is quantum computing, which is amassing billions of dollars of global R&D funding each year. Perhaps it’s no surprise that HPC centers — including the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), home of the world’s first exascale supercomputer, Frontier — are finding ways to leverage

At SC22: ACM Gordon Bell Prize Awarded for Particle-In-Cell Simulations on Frontier, Fugaku, Summit and Perlmutter Supercomputers

New York, NY, November 17, 2022 – ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, named a 16-member team drawn from French, Japanese, and US institutions as recipient of the 2022 ACM Gordon Bell Prize for their project, “Pushing the Frontier in the Design of Laser-Based Electron Accelerators With Groundbreaking Mesh-Refined Particle-In-Cell Simulations on Exascale-Class Supercomputers.” The members of […]

OLCF’s Doug Kothe on Pushing Frontier Across the Exascale Line and the Future of Leadership Supercomputers

Everyone involved in the Frontier supercomputer project got a taste of what a moonshot is like. Granted, lives were not on the line with Frontier as they were when Armstrong and Aldrin went to the moon in 1969. But in other ways there are parallels between the space mission and standing up Frontier, the world’s […]
