For decades, scientists have probed how human DNA that would stretch more than 2 meters if unspooled from a cell is packed into chromosomes millions of times smaller. A single-cell 3D simulation of chromatin, the structures that make up the chromosome. The beads represent monomers, a segment of the genome, linked to form a polymer. […]
Businesses have embraced the use of artificial intelligence (AI), and most plan to rapidly expand its use going forward. However, one major inhibitor and source of problems is that many AI efforts require compute infrastructures that make use of enormous numbers of GPUs. The problem is that such infrastructures are difficult to design and build. […]
QuEra Computing, a leader in neutral-atom quantum computers, today announced a significant breakthrough published in the scientific journal Nature. In experiments led by Harvard University in close collaboration with QuEra Computing, MIT, and NIST/UMD, researchers successfully executed large-scale algorithms on an error-corrected quantum computer with 48 logical qubits and hundreds of entangling logical operations. The […]
A future quantum network may become less of a stretch thanks to researchers at the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory and Cambridge University. Breakthrough by UChicago, Argonne researchers could help pave way for quantum infrastructure. Illustration by Peter Allen. A team of researchers announced a breakthrough in quantum network engineering: By “stretching” thin films […]
High-performance computing (HPC) has played a major role in advancing scientific research for decades using extremely large datasets and sophisticated modeling that mimics the physical world. Rapidly advancing is the ability to complement the power and capabilities of HPC with artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate innovations and deliver faster outcomes. The post Accelerating Science with […]
World-class computing technologies allow researchers to employ a powerful tool to complement experimental and observation facilities. A multi-institutional group of astrophysicists has turned to the power of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre’s flagship system to simulate in unprecedented detail a large part of our celestial neighborhood, with a specific focus on the so-called Coma cluster. The […]
“What’s the size of the AI market?” It’s a totally normal question for anyone to ask me. After all, I’m an analyst, and my company, Intersect360 Research, specializes in scalable, high-performance datacenter segments, such as AI, HPC, and Hyperscale. And yet, a simple answer eludes me, and I wind up answering a question with a […]
Software implementation in high-performance computing is getting more fragmented as organizations opt for tools in their walled garden environments. However, a new organization formed under the Linux Foundation could bring some order to the chaos. The non-profit at Supercomputing 2023 announced its intent to create the High-Performance Software Foundation (HPSF), which will encourage developing and […]
A research collaboration including a team based at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics has long leveraged world-class supercomputing resources to understand how our universe came to exist in its current form. Building on the successes of the previous “Millennium,” “Illustris,” and “IllustrisTNG” projects, the researchers are simulating dark matter in unprecedented detail in the […]
Penguins always come to supper with their finery on. It hardly matters that their dinner rarely varies. Pygoscelis penguin, a genus that covers three distinct species of penguin, also called brush-tailed penguins, are much smaller than the famous emperor penguin. They live in the southernmost places on Earth, with some colonies living as far north […]
