Accurately calculating interactions among electrons has been a significant obstacle to reliable material exploration and design through computer modeling. Recently, a University of Michigan-led international team demonstrated code that brought quantum mechanical accuracy for large systems into the range of today’s supercomputers. The Association for Computing Machinery has now recognized this breakthrough through the Gordon Bell […]

Scientific Computing Options Maturing in the Cloud

Supercomputing remains largely an on-premise affair for many reasons that include horsepower, security, and system management. Companies need more time to move workloads to the cloud, but the options are increasing. (See the recently posted HPC-AI forecast from Intersect 360 Research.) The post Scientific Computing Options Maturing in the Cloud appeared first on HPCwire.

Scientists have made an important step toward developing computers advanced enough to simulate complex natural phenomena at the quantum level. While these types of simulations are too cumbersome or outright impossible for classical computers to handle, photonics-based quantum computing systems could provide a solution. The post Scientists Edge Toward Scalable Quantum Simulations on a Photonic […]

Leveraging Topological Data Analysis in Predicting Extreme Weather Events

Predicting extreme weather events allows governments to issue safety announcements and warnings and arrange evacuations. As a result, thousands of lives can be saved. Thankfully, extreme weather events don’t happen very often, although the US is one of the most affected countries in the world. As severe weather can be so dangerous, various technologies can be […]

Here are five papers from the Quantum Science Center (ORNL), Intel, the University of Science and Technology of China, the Quantum Information Sciences Section (ORNL) and University College Dublin that tackle the topics above. All were posted to arXiv in July. The steady flow of papers tackling quantum computing, even through the summer, is impressive. […]

Transferring Data with Many Colors of Light Simultaneously

November 7th, 2023 |
Lightwave Research

The data centers and high-performance computers that run artificial intelligence programs, such as large language models, aren’t limited by the sheer computational power of their individual nodes. It’s another problem — the amount of data they can transfer among the nodes — that underlies the “bandwidth bottleneck” that currently limits the performance and scaling of […]

Georgia State Researchers Use Summit Supercomputer to Gain New Insights into DNA Repair

November 3rd, 2023 |
This illustration shows how the TFIIH protein complex changes its structure to execute different functions. The TFIIH subunits are colored as follows: XPD red, p62 blue, p44 orange, p34 green, p52 purple, p8 light grey, XPB pink; MAT1 and XPA are shown in yellow, and DNA is cyan.

Transcription factor IIH, or TFIIH, pronounced “TF two H,” is a veritable workhorse among the protein complexes that control human cell activity. It plays critical roles both in transcription — the highly regulated enzymatic synthesis of RNA from a DNA template — and in the repair of damaged DNA. But how can one protein assembly […]
