While studying how bio-inspired materials might inform the design of next-generation computers, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory achieved a first-of-its-kind result that could have big implications for both edge computing and human health. The post Biomembrane Research Findings Could Advance Understanding of Computing and Human Memory appeared first on HPCwire.

There is no doubt that baseball is an obsession for millions of people.  It’s estimated that more than 500 million people globally label themselves as baseball junkies. And the World Baseball Classic is twice as popular in Japan as in the U.S.  So, you may be asking, why would readers of HPCwire be interested in […]

A team based at Princeton University has accurately simulated the initial steps of ice formation by applying artificial intelligence (AI) to solving equations that govern the quantum behavior of individual atoms and molecules. The post Researchers Simulate Ice Formation by Combining AI and Quantum Mechanics appeared first on HPCwire.

Explosions are the bread and butter of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), one of the labs under the auspices of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). But not all explosions, of course, are nuclear — and now, researchers at LLNL and waveform simulation startup Mondaic have created a new, supercomputer-powered model to model the ground […]

Using AI to solve mission-critical problems in the aerospace and defense industry is becoming more of a reality. New technologies emerge every day that can simplify deployment, management, and scaling of AI infrastructure to ensure long-term ROI. The post Harnessing the Aerospace/Defense Data Explosion with Well-Designed AI Infrastructure appeared first on HPCwire.

When early humans discovered how to harness fire, they were able to push back against the nightly darkness that enveloped them. With the invention and widespread adoption of electricity, it became easier to separate heat from light, work through the night, and illuminate train cars to highways. In recent years, old forms of electric light […]

Comprehensive data from several seasons of field research in the Alaskan Arctic will address uncertainties in Earth-system and climate-change models about snow cover across the region and its impacts on water and the environment. The post Researchers Leverage Arctic Snow Data to Address Climate Uncertainty appeared first on HPCwire.

An international team of researchers has designed and built a chip that runs computations directly in memory and can run a wide variety of AI applications–all at a fraction of the energy consumed by computing platforms for general-purpose AI computing. The post Researchers Design New Neuromorphic Chip for AI on the Edge appeared first on […]

International technology standards organization Object Management Group (OMG) announced V1.0 of the Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) Glossary. The goal of the glossary is to eliminate confusion for end users about the suffix “as-a-service,” which has become a popular shorthand to describe solutions offered on a pay-as-you-go basis with elasticity and self-service procurement. The post Object Management Group […]

Quantum technologies, i.e. technological devices obtained by building and manipulating quantum mechanical systems, are becoming a reality. The most prominent example is given by quantum computers, where the unit of information, the bit, is replaced by its quantum mechanical counterpart, informally called the qubit. Contrary to classical computers, quantum computers promise to use the full […]
