Different online media are now reporting about the move of CSCS to the new building. One example is the blog of the International Supercomputing Conference in Germany (ISC) publishing an article: A second article is published by ETH Life.
On Feb. 16 2012, the ATLAS I/O performance tests ran a CSCS showed that the current configuration of Phoenix, the cluster providing service to the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics, outperforms in terms of efficiency all other WLCG Tier-2 sites in the world. These tests, called HammerCloud, are periodically executed on the sites and the […]
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 […]
We would like to congratulate Vittoria Rezzonico per the publication of the first number of Zetta – Numerical Simulation for Science and Technology, the new EPFL magazine about HPC (see also zetta.epfl.ch). Zetta will be published once a year. Vittoria describes in an article on Flash Informatique the scope of Zetta: “Cette nouvelle revue… s’appellera […]
