Daniel Duffy (Lead System Architect) and William Putman (Research Meteorologist) of the NASA Center for Climate Simulation and the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center present the challenges facing global climate modeling today. In particular they discuss the requirements of high resolution modeling: the need for powerful computing resources […]
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, […]
As is tradition, Rich Brueckner of insideHPC visited the Swiss hpc-ch booth at the SC12 conference in Salt Lake City. Rich describes some of the hot topics at SC12, including the emergence of new accelerators from NVIDIA and Intel, and new liquid cooling technologies.
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 latest Green500 list (https://www.top500.org/green500/) has been released today at the SC12 supercomputing conference in Salt Lake City, USA. The purpose of the Green500 is to provide a ranking of the most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world. Two HPC system installed in Switzerland are now ranked in the top 10: Position 4: Todi Cray XK7 […]
