Using Space to Scale Uncharted Mountains
Many mountains on Earth remain undiscovered. Join space physicist and mountaineer Dr Suzie Imber to find out how space satellites, supercomputers, and a passion for exploration has led to her first ascents of previously unknown mountains in the Andes.
Dr Suzie Imber is an Associate Professor in Space Physics at the University of Leicester and an experienced mountaineer.

The towers of the incredible Soviet era Duga ionospheric radar installation remain standing to this day. Slighty radioactive due to the explosion of the nearby Chernobyl reactor, this radar was capable of detecting US ICBM launches from halfway around the globe. An accompanying supercomputer (of the day) processed the radar information to generate a picture of foreign ICBM launches.
This installation financially strained the Soviet Union and is credited, along with Chernobyl, with accelerating the downfall of the USSR.

The Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Centennial Gala, held Friday, October 20, in Aberdeen was the culminating event of a year-long celebration of APG’s 100th Anniversary. Approximately 780 people attended the Cabaret-themed event, which featured live music, a casino, dancing, comedy, fireworks, acrobats and other performers, and an After-Party at the Speakeasy. Merritt Property, which manages the Aberdeen Corporate Park on route 22 next to the Target store, donated the use of the 90,000-square foot building for the event. U.S. Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger, MG Randy Taylor, local and state elected officials, and senior Army officials were in attendance, as were hundreds of members of the Harford and Cecil County communities.
The Gala was hosted by the APG Centennial Celebration Association, which is working to establish the APG Discovery Center in Aberdeen. This facility will house an interactive STEM educational space for learners of all ages to experience science and technology through hands-on exhibits and demonstrations.
During 2017, the APG community hosted over 150 events during 2017 to commemorative APG’s 100-year history. The Live Fire, the APG Memorial dedication, the Rosie the Riveters movie, exhibits at the college and libraries, historical talks and presentations, and Science Cafes.
Bravura Information Technologies was the presenting sponsor of the event. Additional funding was provided by Harford County Office of Economic Development, APG Federal Credit Union, SURVICE Engineering, Harford Community College, AFCEA, IRA, Association of Old Crows, Tenax Technologies, Northeastern Maryland Technology Council, Veteran Corps of America, Profile Partners, Leidos, Cray Supercomputers, CACI, ManTech, Jacobs, Adams Communication, Booz Allen, Camber, Jones Junction Greater Harford Committee, Signatech, Cecil College and many more businesses.

I was digging through my desk for spare change when I found these four Compact Flash cards I forgot all about. There's a 16GB and three 8GB CF cards here.
These were for the work I did on the big "Ranger" supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, currently ranked the sixth fastest supercomputer in the world. Yeah, they boot Linux (CentOS) from CF, believe it or not.
What's the net worth of those CF cards? These are 'professional' CF with wear leveling intended for use in the enterprise, rather than consumer applications. I don't know if it makes any real difference or not, though I know there are substantial differences in MTBF and performance for storage with rotating media.
Right now, I'm doing some work with 32GB solid state storage devices, and there's some pretty cool stuff I can't even mention yet for release in the (hopefully) near future.
Argonne's Pete Beckman gives the audience some background on Argonne during his presentation on the rise of supercomputers.
My thoughts moved toward the sky.
A recent German supercomputer estimates there are 500 billion galaxies. That means there could be a galaxy out there for every star in the Milky Way. I wondered about the insignificance of-it-all…
And then, the significance...
The scene spoke to me and in some way and challenged me. It sounded like a breeze through the pines and felt like a pat on the back, or maybe, a gentle push.
I was shooting with the sky. It was a beautiful, soulful conversation.

In James Cameron's science fiction film Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the fictional Cyberdyne Systems is the infamous corporation that creates Skynet, the supercomputer that becomes self-aware takes over the United States military, and creates a war between humanity and machines. In the climax of the film, the company is destroyed in a shootout with the Terminator played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The scene was shot at this nondescript office building in Southern Fremont in 1990. Besides a difference in the number of floors, added by special effects (and destroyed during filming), the disabled parking signs, and the proliferation of similar office spaces nearby, the building looks as much as it did when Terminator 2 was filmed. Ironically, the building is now used by Mattson, a semiconductor company.

The Blue Brain Project is the first comprehensive attempt to reverse-engineer the mammalian brain, in order to understand brain function and dysfunction through detailed simulations.
The project has focused, however, not only on building a model of the neocortical column, but on developing a generic facility that could allow rapid modeling, simulation and experimentation of any brain region, if the data can be measured and provided according to specifications. The facility has been used to build the first model of the neocortical column, which consists of 10,000 3D digitizations of real neurons that are populated with model ion channels constrained by the genetic makeup of over 200 different types of neurons. A parallel supercomputer is used to build the model and perform the experiments so that the behavior of the tissue can be predicted through simulations.

Though the construction of the Theory and Computer Sciences Building was announced in 2007, to me the interior feels very much like '60s brutalist construction. Which is not a critique at all; I'm rather fond of that style.
I love the concrete and sharp geometries here, along with the sand garden filling the inner courtyard spaces. The repeated vertical and horizontal lines help make the inside feel very modern, in keeping with the buildings purpose.
It houses Argonne's Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, among other things.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory unveiled Summit as the world’s most powerful and smartest scientific supercomputer on June 8, 2018.
With a peak performance of 200,000 trillion calculations per second-or 200 petaflops, Summit will be eight times more powerful than ORNL’s previous top-ranked system, Titan. For certain scientific applications, Summits will also be capable of more than three billion mixed precision calculations per second, or 3.3 exaops. Summit will provide unprecedented computing power for research in energy, advanced materials and artificial intelligence (AI), among other domains, enabling scientific discoveries that were previously impractical or impossible.

34 million computing hours a year. That's the processing power of the powerful high-performing supercomputer that was inaugurated on September 24 in Trieste, as an anticipation of Trieste Next. The project was developed by SISSA within an agreement with ICTP, and the machine is housed at the “old” SISSA headquarters in via Beirut 2-4. The inauguration provides an occasion to illustrate some applications of supercomputing in industry and science, and to present the new Master's in High Performance Computing, MHPC.
