In the universe of numeric computation, one way to predict the future is to draw lines based on the past. Though not always perfect, predicting how fast a supercomputer will run the HPC benchmark in the future is often about extending lines. These lines reflect computational efficiencies and bottlenecks that ultimately shape the near-term exceptions […]
Researchers at the University of Helsinki have succeeded in something that has been pursued since the 1970s: explaining the X-ray radiation from the black hole surroundings. The radiation originates from the combined effect of the chaotic movements of magnetic fields and turbulent plasma gas. The post Supercomputer Simulations Offer Explanation for X-ray Radiation from Black […]
June 20, 2024 — A team of Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists plan to use artificial intelligence modeling to forecast, and better understand, a growing threat to water caused by toxic algal blooms. Fueled by climate change and rising water temperatures, these harmful algal blooms, or HABs, have grown in intensity and frequency. They have […]
A new study led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory finds that coastal conditions have changed since 1979, driving nearshore hurricanes around the world to intensify at a quickening pace. Moreover, new projections suggest this rate will continue climbing should current warming trends continue. The new work was published recently […]
A team led by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory explored training strategies for one of the largest artificial intelligence models to date with help from the world’s fastest supercomputer. The post ORNL: World’s Fastest Supercomputer Takes on Large Language Modeling appeared first on HPCwire.
Laboratories are running supercomputers for much longer, beyond the typical lifespan, as vendors prematurely deprecate the hardware and stop providing support. A typical supercomputer lifecycle is about five to six years. However, Japan-based RIKEN is planning to run its existing Fugaku for ten years, and Lawrence Livermore National Labs (LLNL) has some systems running for […]
Malfunction of the proteins that sense voltage changes in our nerve cells underlies a number of human diseases throughout the body. A University of Chicago team used an Anton 2 supercomputer developed by D. E. Shaw Research and hosted at PSC to simulate a voltage-sensing protein from a primitive animal to learn how the sensor […]
Although LLMs are getting all the notice lately, AI techniques of many varieties are being infused throughout science. For example, Harvard researchers, Google, and colleagues published a 3D map in Science that reveals a small chunk of as human brain in astonishing detail. Imaging the roughly cubic millimeter of tissue produced 1.4 petabytes of data. […]
An international team of scientists has built the largest and most detailed bird family tree to date—an intricate chart delineating 93 million years of evolutionary relationships between 363 bird species, representing 92% of all bird families. The advance was made possible in large part thanks to cutting-edge computational methods developed by engineers at the University […]
=Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have achieved a milestone in accelerating and adding features to complex multi-physics simulations run on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), a development that could advance high performance computing and engineering. The post LLNL Team Accelerates Multi-Physics Simulations with El Capitan Predecessor Systems appeared first on HPCwire.
