Since October 2009 CSCS uses xCAT in some production environments. xCAT is an open source HPC cluster management. It is agile, extendable, and based on years of system administration best practices and experience. Carmelo Ponti of CSCS contributed to the project with a “Getting Started” document » Please contact Carmelo (cponti at cscs.ch) for additional […]
CSCS will be hosting a three day summer school on parallel programming aimed at graduate students who are new to the world of high performance computing and who wish to learn the basic skills required to write, develop and maintain parallel applications in scientific computing. 17-19 August 2011 at CSCS in Manno The school will […]
CSCS will install by the end of June, 2011 a new Cray XMT. James Maltby of Cray presents the new supercomputer and its new possible applications for science and industry. James explains how easy it is program this supercomputer supporting massive hyperthreading. Have a look!
The HPC Advisory Council, a leading organization for high-performance computing research, outreach and education, announced that it will honor seven of its members including Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) for their contribution and support during the 2010-2011 time frame. Brian Sparks tell us more about the prize received by CSCS. Have a look: Read the […]
Whether data is processed or deleted in computers, both consume energy. The energy is released as heat. A study has now shown that the heat forming can be avoided, and, in an extreme case, cold can be created – a glimmer of hope for supercomputer centres. The deletion of data, under certain conditions, can create […]
