More research at UC San Diego revealed yet another side-channel attack on x86_64 processors. The research identified a new vulnerability that allows precise control of conditional branch prediction in modern processors. The post Processor Security: Taking the Wong Path appeared first on HPCwire.
A previously unknown type of vortex has now been discovered in a study, published in Science, conducted by Dr. Lee Drori, Dr. Bankim Chandra Das, Tomer Danino Zohar and Dr. Gal Winer from Prof. Ofer Firstenberg’s laboratory at the Weizmann Institute of Science’s Physics of Complex Systems Department. The researchers set out to look for an efficient way of […]
Even though we invented it, humans can be pretty bad at science. We need to eat and sleep, we sometimes let our emotions regulate our behavior, and our bodies are easily and irreparably damaged – all of which can stand in the way of scientific achievement. The post Using AI and Robots to Advance Science […]
Few things in nature are as predictable as ocean tides….But lately, researchers have noticed subtle changes in surface tidal measurements that do not coincide with changes of the Moon and Sun’s gravitational pull. Instead, collected data and theory indicate that a warming ocean surface may be behind the observations. The post New 3D Models Reveal […]
In an ever-changing technological landscape, quantum computing is emerging as a promising solution to address the limitations and overcome the scaling issues of classical computing. Quantum computing platforms will, in some instances, have the ability to solve problems more efficiently than traditional computers, potentially surpassing the capabilities of current exascale-class platforms, especially as Moore’s Law […]
Apple has built a new AI infrastructure to deliver AI features introduced in its devices and is utilizing resources available in Google’s cloud infrastructure. The post Apple Using Google Cloud Infrastructure to Train and Serve AI appeared first on HPCwire.
“In this long-term study, we first used the Comet supercomputer to run tens of millions of simulations – looking at how ribonucleic acid (RNA) works within individual maize genes,” said Solares, a lecturer and researcher with the UC San Diego Computer Science and Engineering Department. “We ran our sims primarily on SDSC’s Comet and then […]
We have all thought about it. No one has done it, but now, thanks to HPC, we see what it looks like. Hold on to your feet because NASA has released videos of what it is like to orbit and enter a black hole. And yes, it crosses the event horizon (don’t worry, nothing to […]
With the help of generative AI, researchers from MIT and the University of Basel in Switzerland have developed a new machine-learning framework that can help uncover new insights about materials science. The findings of the study were published in Physical Review Letters (ArXiv version). The post Scientists Use GenAI to Uncover New Insights in Materials […]
In this recent blog post, CSC’s Maari Alanko and Pihla Kauranen highlight the power of international collaboration in climate research, featuring cutting-edge projects like the study of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. Leveraging the LUMI supercomputer, researchers are uncovering insights into global sea level rise, showcasing the vital role of high-performance computing in addressing environmental challenges. […]
