In the HP2C project “Selectome”, scientists from the University of Lausanne and the SIB Institute of Bioinformatics and members of CSCS have successfully revised a code. It now also runs on supercomputers and calculates selection events in genes many times more quickly. by Simone Ulmer A small change in the protein Opsin of the visual [...]
ISC – the largest HPC conference in Europe – just announced that it will be giving the Human Brain project, led by Dr. Henry Markram of EPFL, a permanent platform at ISC to share their latest research findings for the next 10 years. Their first talk “Supercomputing & the Human Brain Project – Following Brain [...]

Models boost the significance of image and measurement data from space missions and help to understand our solar system. A simulation of a double impact that occurred on the proto-planet Vesta one billion years ago allowed scientists to describe precisely the inner structure of the asteroid. A joint research from EPFL, Bern University, France and [...]
