CSCS, the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre organized in May 2012 a course on “Using the next-generation Cray XMT (uRiKA) for Large Scale Data Analytics”. Here are now published the slidecasts … Read More
Analysis and prediction of financial risks, such as market and credit risks, is one of the central problems in modern economy. An adequate understanding of the available risk data requires … 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
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 … 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
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
The Swiss German television SF DRS reported in the transmission Einstein about the research results of Prof. Lucio Mayer of the University of Zurich about the first realistic simulation of … Read More
In the last weeks the international press was reporting about the first results in the search for the Higg particle at CERN. The infrastructure behind the the LHC experiment in … Read More
In the two previous posts we presented the simulation of the spatial structure of the light emitted in early galaxies. We asked Rick Wagner of SDSC to discuss with Venkartram … Read More
Joe Insley (Argonne National Lab) has been working together with Rick Wagner of SDSC (see previous interview) on the visualization of the spatial structure of the light emitted in early … Read More
