The HPC Advisory Council and the Swiss Supercomputing Centre CSCS is preparing for the upcoming HPC Advisory Council Switzerland Workshop 2011 in the Lugano Convention Centre, Lugano, Switzerland, from March 21-23, 2011 (Same location as last year). Similar to last year, the workshop will focus on High-Performance Computing education, training (including hands-on) and an overview […]
Have a look to the assembling of the data center roof for the new Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in Lugano. In the movie (see here below) you can see the positioning of the roof beams for the new machine room. Each roof beam is 35 meters long and weights 50 tons.The machine room will […]
The research group led by Viola Vogel, Professor of Biologically Oriented Materials at ETH Zurich, has studied with the help of supercomputers the mechanisms behind the infections of wounds. If connective tissue fibres are under tension, bacteria do not bind to them so well. However, if the fibres are severed and slackened by a cut, […]
Construction of the new CSCS building proceeds at fast pace. The shell is almost complete, the roof being built these days. The new data center will house the next generation of supercomputers, it covers an area of 2000 square meters and is void of pillars, allowing more freedom in placing the latest models of supercomputers. The roof […]
Anton Kozhevnikov is one of the co-winner of the Gordon Bell Prize Honorable Mention for Special Achievements in Scalability at last Supercomputing Conference SC10 in New Orleans (see our previous posting). Anton is a post doc at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at ETH Zurich and is working for the Computational Physics group under the […]
