HP2C Presented at the Hybrid Multicore Consortium

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Prof. Thomas Schulthess presented the HP2C initiative at the First Workshop of the Hybrid Multicore Consortium in San Francisco (January, January 20, 2010).

Have a look to the different presentations of the consortium members and in particular to the presentation of HP2C by Schulthess.

As stated in the presentation, the overarching goal of HP2C is to:

Prepare computational sciences to make effective use of next generation supercomputers

And the specific goal is to:

Emerge with several high-impact scientific applications that scale and run efficiently on leadership computing platforms in 2012/13 timeframe

Team with Prof. Schulthess (ORNL, Institute for Theoretical Physics and Swiss National Supercomputing Center) wins a Gordon Bell Prize for the second time in a row

Friday, November 20th, 2009

A team led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL’s) Markus Eisenbach and with Prof. Thomas Schulthess was named winner Thursday of the 2009 ACM Gordon Bell Prize, which honors the world’s highest-performing scientific computing applications.

This is the second time in a row that the research team of Prof. Thomas Schulthess wins the prestigious Gordon Bell Prize for supercomputing. The prize has been announced today, November 19 at the SC09 international supercomputing conference in Portland, Oregon.

Swiss TV (SF1 10vor10) reports about CSCS and HPCN strategy

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

On October 20, 2009 the Swiss TV reported on the late news trasmission 10vor10 about the new Supercomputer installed at CSCS and the Swiss National HPC strategy (HPCN).

Neuer Supercomputer in Lugano
In Manno bei Lugano steht das Rechenzentrum der ETH Zürich. Seit ein paar Wochen steht dort der neuste Supercomputer der Schweiz, der drittschnellste von ganz Europa. Dieser Grossrechner verarbeitet riesige Datenmengen für die Forschung und Industrie. In ein paar Wochen wird er offiziell eingeweiht.
