Every year at the SC conference, the Gordon Bell Prize is presented to recognise outstanding work in the field of high-performance computing. This year, two research groups from ETH Zurich are competing in the finals – a remarkable achievement considering only five teams have been preselected world-wide. November 9, 2015 – Simone Ulmer Simulations on […]
Prof. Michele Weber, Università di Berna, fisica delle particelle: “Supercomputer per super esperimenti: il CSCS e la scoperta del bosone Higgs” Questa presentazione ha avuto luogo durante le giornata delle porte aperte del CSSC, 17 ottobre 2015. Ricercatori delle università svizzere hanno spiegato perché oggi i supercomputer ad alta potenza sono così importanti nella ricerca […]
Prof. Lucio Mayer, Università di Zurigo, astrofisica: “Supercomputers per svelare la natura del nostro Universo: dai pianeti alle galassie fino all’origine dei buchi neri supermassivi“. Questa presentazione ha avuto luogo durante le giornata delle porte aperte del CSSC, 17 ottobre 2015. Ricercatori delle università svizzere hanno spiegato perché oggi i supercomputer ad alta potenza sono […]
Despite what the name “EuroHack” may lead people to believe, no external systems were hacked during the EuroHack workshop in Lugano. In actual fact, the aim of the event was for experts to design computer codes that would exploit computer architectures more efficiently. July 20, 2015 – by Simone Ulmer There was plenty of “hacking” […]
Recording of a plenary presentation during the PASC15 Conference. www.pasc15.org Abstract Algorithmic adaptations are required to use anticipated exascale hardware near its potential, since the code base has been engineered to squeeze out flops. Instead, algorithms must now squeeze out synchronizations, memory, and transfers, while extra flops on locally cacheable data represent small costs in […]
