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, [...]
We are glad to share with you the results of the Master Thesis (in German) of Christoph Möder entitled «Suggestions for optimizing the server room at the ETH Zurich based on a cost and energy analysis». Providers of HPC services are increasingly faced with questions about energy costs and this study provides a good reference [...]
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 [...]
The Gordon Bell Prize 2010 has been awarded at the Supercomputing Conference SC10 in New Orleans yesterday November 18. We are very happy to announce that Prof. Thomas Schulthess (ETH Zurich and CSCS), Anton Kozhevnikov (ETH Zurich) and Adolfo G. Eguiluz (University of Tennessee, Knoxville) received the honorable mention for special achievments in scalability for [...]
The recordings of the last hpc-ch community forum on Parallel file systems for HPC are now online. More than 40 colleagues from all over Switzerland attended the forum. The videos of the 9 presentations give an overview of the state of the art in parallel file systems in Switzerland: The technologies being used, their pros [...]
