EPFL is dedicating this year’s last issue of its inhouse Flash Informatique to High Performance Computing. In this special issue we will get a deep insight into some of the research using and contributing to HPC going on at EPFL. In particular, several labs are working on energy efficiency of HPC hardware and infrastructure. An […]
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 […]
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 […]
