Small fish bend themselves into a ‘C’ shape before they flee from predators. Observations have suggested that this shape helps them to abruptly put the greatest distance possible between themselves and their predators. Petros Koumoutsakos, a professor at the Computational Science & Engineering Laboratory » at ETH Zurich, and two of his doctoral students, Mattia [...]
Sustainability is an important not only for ICT in general but also for HPC. Next year Zurich will host an important conference about ICT for Sustainability. If you are interested in contributing to the conference, then now it is time to submit your papers. ICT for sustainability is about utilizing the transformational power of Information [...]
ETH Zurich scientists have for the first time succeeded in realistically simulating how an oceanic plate sinks of its own accord under an adjacent plate. At the same time they showed why only one of the plates rather than both subducts into the Earth’s mantle, and how this process affects the dynamics of the Earth’s [...]
IT security is an important topic also for HPC. We would like to invite you to participate (free of charge) to a Topic Forum of the Swiss IT Intelligence Community (sitic) that will meet on March 15th at ETH Zurich.
