The High Performance and High Productivity Computing Platform (HP2C) invites the submission of proposals focused on applications of high performance computing to risk analysis for global challenges. These projects should focus on advances in mathematical methods, algorithms and computational techniques to better exploit next generation supercomputing platforms for the analysis and forecast of global challenges, [...]
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 [...]
The first 8 projects to be supported by HP2C have been accepted. A decision about 4 additional projects is expected in the next weeks. In December 2009, the steering committee of HP2C selected the following 8 projects to be supported: Advanced Gyrokinetic – Advanced gyrokinetic numerical simulations of turbulence in fusion plasmas; Prof. Laurent Villard, [...]
Cray has announced the Exascale Research Initiative less than a month after Intel said it was setting up an exascale research center with European partners. Cray’s partnership involves three European institutions, including the University of Edinburgh and the Swiss National Supercomputing Center. The goal of the initiative is to build a supercomputer capable of performing [...]
