At the 41st SPEEDUP Workshop, Joost van de Vondele gave a presentation on “Sparse matrix matrix multiplication for linear scaling DFT”. Joost is an Assistant Professor of Nanoscale Simulation at … Read More
The 25 years SPEEDUP anniversary workshop presents and discusses the state-of-the-art in high-performance and parallel scientific computing with a focus on algorithms, applications, and software issues related to high-performance parallel … Read More
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 … Read More
We congratulate Yves Ineichen (Paul Scherrer Institute/IBM Research Zurich), Andreas Adelmann (PSI), Costas Bekas (IBM Ruschlikon), Alessandro Curioni (IBM Ruschlikon) & Peter Arbenz (ETH Zurich) who have won the PRACE Award … Read More
Small fish bend themselves into a ‘C’ shape before they flee from predators. Observations have suggested that this shape helps them to abruptly put the greatest distance possible between themselves … Read More
Sustainability is an important not only for ICT in general but also for HPC. Next year Zurich will host an important conference about ICT for Sustainability. If you are interested … Read More
ETH Zurich scientists have for the first time succeeded in realistically simulating how an oceanic plate sinks of its own accord under an adjacent plate. At the same time they … Read More
IT security is an important topic also for HPC. We would like to invite you to participate (free of charge) to a Topic Forum of the Swiss IT Intelligence Community … Read More
CSCS just reported that ETH Zurich scientists have for the first time succeeded in realistically simulating how an oceanic plate sinks of its own accord under an adjacent plate. At … Read More
Quantum computers, should they be realized one day, will inevitably make errors. Therefore, they need special error correcting mechanisms. The most important part of it, a so-called Toffoli gate, has … Read More
Torsten Hoefler, currently Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, USA, has been appointed as Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Computational Science at ETH Zurich. Torsten Hoefler … Read More
While the peak performance and energy efficiency of computing hardware are constantly growing, the development of fast scientific software is experiencing an important paradigm shift. Efficient algorithm implementations face rigid … Read More
