Rich Loft, Director of Technology and Development at the Computing Lab of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Aaron Andersen (Deputy Director for Operations at NCAR) have been involved from the beginning in the design of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center (NWSC). NWSC has been operational since October 2012 and hosts the Yellowstone supercomputer, [...]
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 [...]
The Swiss Italian Radio (RSI) recently broadcast an item on the new CSCS building and the scientific projects running here in their programme ”Scintille”. They interviewed Michele De Lorenzi, associate director at CSCS, and two professors from ETH Zurich, Günther Dissertori (particle physics) and Marcella Carollo (astrophysics). Listen to the broadcast »
Today researchers working on the LHC experiment at CERN presented the observation of a new particle with a mass of 125 GeV. This is a very important step on the search for the standard model (SM) Higgs bosson in their data recorded up to June 2012. In this interview, Prof. Christoph Grab of ETH Zurich [...]
