Aside from making GPUs scarce and expensive (even in the cloud), these rapid changes have suggested many questions in the HPC community. The post Feeding the Virtuous Cycle of Discovery: HPC, Big Data, and AI Acceleration appeared first on HPCwire.

Google expects to bring commercial quantum computing applications to market within five years, according to Hartmut Neven, Google VP of Engineering and longtime leader of its quantum research efforts. Speaking to Reuters on Wednesday, Neven’s projection contrasts with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s recent estimate that practical quantum computing is still two decades away. The post […]

Data centers are significant consumers of global electricity, with their share expected to rise in the coming years. In 2022, data centers consumed approximately 460 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity, accounting for about 2% of global electricity usage. Projections indicate that by 2026, this consumption could increase to between 650 TWh and 1,050 TWh, potentially representing […]

Without the right tools at their disposal, even the brightest scientists may struggle to conduct their experiments effectively. Artificial intelligence could be the tool that makes the scientific research process more efficient.  The post AI’s Role in Revolutionizing Scientific Research appeared first on HPCwire.

In the current AI landscape, creative and talkative large language models may be the star of the moment, but a quieter revolution is underway. Quantitative AI, grounded in rigorous scientific modeling and high performance computing, is charting a new frontier. While LLMs are great for human language tasks, quantitative AI is tuned into complex tasks in […]

The gemstone spinel, known for its vibrant colors resembling gems like rubies and sapphires, has now been shown to be capable of storing quantum information, making it a viable material in the field of quantum technology. The post UChicago: Exploring a New Qubit with Spinel Gemstones appeared first on HPCwire.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego, University of Florida and Arizona State University have been awarded $3.28 million from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to build OpenForest4D – a web-based cyberinfrastructure platform for next-generation 4D forest mapping and monitoring. The project’s goal is to advance the mapping and monitoring of global forest […]

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season left a trail of destruction in its wake, causing hundreds of fatalities and more than $200 billion dollars in damages. Supercomputer simulations were an important tool for U.S. state and federal agencies in protecting life and property. The post TACC Supercomputers Aid Hurricane Surge Forecasting in 2024 Atlantic Season appeared […]

Nuclear power will power tomorrow’s AI systems, but top cloud providers are pursuing techniques to make their existing data centers more energy-efficient. Microsoft is designing new data centers that will use a limited amount of water to cool data centers. The post Microsoft to Open “Zero Water” Data Centers in 2026 appeared first on HPCwire.

A multi-institution team of researchers led by Mohammad Ghazi Vakili (University of Toronto) and Christoph Gorgulla (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Harvard University) reported using a hyrbid quantum-classical workflow to identify KRAS inhibitor drug candidates. KRAS is a well-known cancer causing gene. The post Researchers Use Hybrid Quantum-Classical Workflow to Identify KRAS Inhibitors appeared […]
