As is tradition, Rich Brueckner of insideHPC visited the Swiss hpc-ch booth at the SC12 conference in Salt Lake City. Rich describes some of the hot topics at SC12, including the emergence of new accelerators from NVIDIA and Intel, and new liquid cooling technologies.
In certain heart diseases, the left ventricle does not contract simultaneously. Usually, a pacemaker can come to the rescue here. Why this does not help in thirty per cent of cases, however, is difficult to ascertain. Simulations on the CSCS Monte Rosa supercomputer of the physiology of the heart should now help provide a detailed […]
Jean Favre (CSCS) presents at SC12 a video created together with Martin Schmitt and Christos E. Frouzakis ETH Zurich of direct numerical simulation of flow in engine-like geometries. Internal combustion engine flows are turbulent, unsteady and exhibit high cycle-to-cycle variations. There are multiple turbulence generating mechanisms and their effects overlap in time and space, creating […]
Andreas Born from the Climate and Environmental Physics group at University of Bern presented at CSCS User Day a poster portraying the work that the entire group has been doing at CSCS. He stresses how the storage requirement increases linearly with the cpu hours and how to answer scientific questions they cannot separate on from […]
