Researchers in Australia and the U.S. have made exciting headway in the quantum computing arms race. A multi-institutional team including the University of New South Wales and Sandia National Laboratory announced that they have accomplished a 99 percent accuracy rate with nuclear-spin qubits embedded in silicon.   The post Researchers Achieve 99 Percent Quantum Accuracy […]

Zapata Computing, a leading enterprise software company for quantum solutions, announced that the company, along with several academic and technology partners, has earned a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) award for quantum benchmarking. The multi-year, multi-million-dollar award will help fund the creation of software tools to make hardware-specific resource estimates for quantum computers. The […]

Fresh off its rebrand last October, Meta (née Facebook) is putting muscle behind its vision of a metaversal future with a massive new AI supercomputer called the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC). Meta says that RSC will be used to help build new AI models, develop augmented reality tools, seamlessly analyze multimedia data and more. The […]

The MIT AI Hardware Program is a new academia and industry collaboration aimed at defining and developing translational technologies in hardware and software for the AI and quantum age. A collaboration between the MIT School of Engineering and MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, involving the Microsystems Technologies Laboratories and programs and units in the college, the […]

As the world’s students return to classrooms, a general unease remains over the dynamics of Covid transmission even as the omicron variant settles into a lull. A trio of researchers from Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign used the most powerful supercomputer in the country to simulate how Covid particles might […]

Edge computing is an approach in which the data is processed and analyzed at the point of origin – the place where the data is generated. This is done to make data more accessible to end-point devices, or users, and to reduce the response time for data requests. HPC-class computing and networking technologies are critical […]

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Jan. 13, 2022 — The IEEE Computer Society (IEEE CS) has unveiled its annual Technology Predictions, addressing the long-lasting influence of the pandemic on tech advancements, as well as introducing new fundamentals and anticipated trends shaping the industry for 2022 and beyond. The post IEEE Computer Society Unveils Its 2022 Technology Predictions […]

There are hundreds of millions of sequenced proteins and counting—but only 170,000 have had their structures solved by researchers, bottlenecking our understanding of proteins and their functions across organisms’ genomes. Now, researchers led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the Georgia Institute of Technology have applied supercomputer-powered deep learning to quickly predict the structures […]

Implementing effective error mitigation and correction is a critical next step in advancing quantum computing. While a lot of attention has been given to efforts to improve the underlying ‘noisy’ hardware, there’s been, perhaps, less spotlighting of similar efforts to develop software strategies for coping with these errors. That’s now changing and the emerging software […]

Researchers led by the University of Tsukuba present an improved way to model interactions between matter and light at the atomic scale The post Light-Matter Interactions Simulated on Fugaku Supercomputer appeared first on HPCwire.
