The Kaust Visualization Lab and the Blue Brain Project join forces to address the issue of high energy consumption of current high performance computing. A particular need for this collaboration is to drive the challenge of High Performance Visualization. We are therefore looking for Experienced C++ software engineers at KAUST (Jeddah, SA) and EPFL (Lausanne, [...]
by Peter Rüegg, ETH Zurich It’s a fact: Switzerland’s Piz Daint is the fastest supercomputer in Europe. What’s more, it has now been named the greenest petaflop computer in the world at SC13 in Denver, Colorado (USA). Piz Daint performs 3.2 billion operations (3.2 gigaflops) per watt, making it fourth in the Green500 ranking of [...]
