John Biddiscombe and Jerome Soumagne presented at the last HPC Advisory Council workshop in Lugano techniques for data staging for in-situ processing and parallel IO/Coupling of HPC applications: Parallel IO is used by HPC applications to quickly export data to disk, but the time/space taken to save and reload the results for post-processing is often […]
We would like to make you aware that the call for proposals for the U.S. Department of Energy’s INCITE program 2013 is now open. The INCITE program targets large-scale, computationally intensive projects that would not be possible or productive without petascale computing. Consequently applicants for this program must present evidence that their proposed production simulations can make effective use […]
CSCS is reporting on how supercomputers can explain why Homo neanderthalensis disappeared about 15,000 years ago. At that time modern humans, Homo sapiens, came to Europe and Homo neanderthalensis disappeared for good. Now the supercomputer is to assess which of the current hypotheses can explain their extinction. 20,000 to 200,000 years before our time, with […]
Swiss Radio DRS 1 reported in the broadcast “Wissen Aktuell” about the new CSCS building ant the move of CSCS from Manno to Lugano (in German): In Manno im Kanton Tessin steht der nationale Höchstleistungsrechner im Swiss Scientific Computing Center (CSCS) der ETH. Installiert für Forscher aus der ganzen Schweiz. Ergebnisse sind beispielsweise ein Medikament […]
