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.

From the perspective of chemistry and physics, equilibrium is a bit dull – at least to Cheng-Chien Chen, assistant professor of physics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. His research tries to engineering new states of matter and control these states by probing the possibilities of non-equilibrium. The post Supercomputing Research of Laser-Induced Non-Equilibrium […]

Quantinuum – the newly-named company resulting from the merger of Honeywell’s quantum computing division and UK-based Cambridge Quantum – today launched Quantum Origin, a service to deliver “completely unpredictable cryptographic keys” based random numbers generated by a quantum computer. Quantinuum calls Quantum Origin the first commercial quantum cryptography product of the NISQ (noisy intermediate scale […]

Photovoltaic solar – what most people know as solar panels – generated a record 821 terawatt-hours in 2020, a 23 percent increase over 2019 and an impressive 3.1 percent of global electricity generation. But with climate change rapidly accelerating, most scientists agree that the energy transition needs to be happening faster – which means producing […]

The Earth — with its myriad interactions of atmosphere, oceans, land and ice components — presents an extraordinarily complex system for investigation. For researchers, simulating the dynamics of these systems has presented a process that is just as complex. But today, Earth system models capable of weather-scale resolution take advantage of powerful new computers to […]
