An adequate understanding of the available risk data requires advanced mathematics and refined high performance numerical algorithms. A pilot study carried out at the Institute for Computational Science at the University of Lugano (USI) […]

The Swiss radio broadcast reported (in German) about CSCS, Supercomputing and the move to the new building in Lugano. DRS3 visited CSCS at the end of April, just after the move of the supercomputer Monte Rosa to the new location in Lugano and interviewed the General Manager, Dominik Ulmer and Maria Grazia Giuffreda, Head of […]
Setting the Scope In this forum we would like to discuss the different aspects related to providing an infrastructure for the HPC systems we are operating. In many institutions the factors limiting HPC are not the available personnel or monetary resources but simply the available resources where new systems are to be installed. Providing an […]
