@HPCpodcast: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategies – A How-to Guide for HPC Managers
August 5, 2022 by
While it’s safe to assume that most senior managers in the HPC community are in favor of hiring and promoting more women and people of color within their organizations, many don’t know how to make it happen. At last week’s annual meeting of the Dell Technologies HPC Community, Melyssa Fratkin of the Texas Advanced Computing Center offered this piece of advice: using same-old-same-old hiring practices won’t work.

TACC: Frontera HPC Helps Reveal Weaknesses in HIV-1 ‘Armor’
June 17, 2022 by
The Frontera supercomputer at TACC has furthered scientists’ understanding of how the HIV-1 virus infects and helped generate the first realistic simulations of its capsid, complete with its proteins, water, genetic material, and a key cofactor called IP6 recently discovered to stabilize and help form the capsid. “The vulnerabilities in the armor of the HIV-1 virus capsid were revealed by these very big simulations and the analysis we did,” said Gregory Voth, the Haig P. Papazian Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. Voth is the lead author on the HIV-1 capsid study published in March 2022 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
