NCCS's Jaguar enables vital scientific research
Douglas B. Kothe
Achieving breakthrough scientific results often requires extraordinary computing capabilities. For many of the most challenging scientific problems, scalable supercomputing holds the key to gaining new insights and addressing problems that cannot be solved via any other means. To achieve these results, however, researchers need highly-scalable, continually upgradeable supercomputing systems ...continue

Rediscovering the advantages of the hybrid approach
John Gustafson, Ph.D.
The analogy between hybrid cars and hybrid computing is almost perfect: Combine two kinds of engines and use each in the situations for which they perform best. The result is energy savings…or, higher performance for the same energy cost. For both cars and computers, energy efficiency is becoming the primary issue. For hybrid computing, the two kinds of engines are a general-purpose processor (like those made by Intel and AMD) and a coprocessor specifically crafted for certain ...continue

HECToR Maintains UK’s Strong Research Role
|
Bolstering Edinburgh University's supercomputing facility keeps the UK in high HPC standing
Tim Studt
In Greek mythology, Hector was one of the strongest and greatest fighters in the Trojan War. Hector could always be counted on to lead the Trojan warriors into battle. A current-day Hector has garnered a similar type of respect in the research community. This HECToR (High-End Computing Terascale Resources) is one of the largest and most ambitious high performance computing (HPC) initiatives in Europe. (Note: the UK term, high-end computing [HEC], is mostly synonymous with the more international term ...continue

Army Research Laboratory achieves 90-percent utilization
Charles J. Nietubicz and Thomas M. Kendall
Researchers associated with the Department of Defense (DoD) have relied on supercomputers for over 50 years. This tradition continues today at the Army Research Laboratory Major Shared Resource Center (ARL MSRC), which helps the DoD exploit supercomputing technology for military advantage throughout the battlespace. With a mandate to help DoD scientists and engineers develop, test and field weapons systems faster and more efficiently, the MSRC relies on some of the world’s newest, most scalable ...continue
