March 25, 2013: A robot, the thin, upright, black piece of machinery in the center of the photo, sits on a rail inside one of the cabinets that store data on the Blue Waters supercomputer at the University of Illinois in Champaign, Ill. The robots move along the rail as needed.

Pictured here with Ken Barner, chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The TeraFlux project seeks to exploit dataflow parallelism in teradevice computing and propose a complete solution to harness large-scale parallelism in an efficient way. The University of Delaware recently joined the TeraFlux project and received a grant connected to the project from the EU.

The Universidad de la Frontera (UFRO) began operating a new high performance computing equipment with scientific capability. Its installation is part of the National Laboratory for High Performance Computing (NLHPC) project, lead by the Center for Mathematical Modeling of the University of Chile, with support and funding from the Associative Investigation Program (PIA) of CONICYT.

The Diefenbunker is a four-story, 100,000 square foot underground bunker, built between 1959 and 1961. During the Cold War it was intended to house 535 Canadian government officials and military officers in the event of a nuclear war. It served as Canadian Forces Station Carp until 1994.

For years it protected us from 75 feet underground and we knew virtually nothing about it. Today, it operates as a not-for-profit, charitable museum and boasts award winning tours and programs.

Through years of steady investment and research, high performance computing in Europe has started paying returns to many parts of the economy - aerospace, pharmaceuticals, energy, automotive, the environment and climate research. But the best could be yet to come, as computing powers worldwide jump upwards and HPC becomes an essential tool for competitiveness across the European economy. In short, supercomputers will be for all, no longer a few.

Louisiana over the past couple of years, has built a fiber optics network connecting supercomputers at Louisiana's six major research universities.

 

I may be wrong, but I believe these machines deal with connecting UL Lafayette to the LONI fiber optic network.

The “blue blobs” shown in this picture represent particles in an advanced nickel alloy used to manufacture high-pressure turbine rotors and cooling systems for jet engines. The model is a simulation of what happens to the size and distribution of the particles when the alloy rapidly cools at a rate of 200 degrees Fahrenheit per minute.

This is btw the fastest supercomputer in the Netherlands and one of the fastest (Nr. 51 in the top 500) in the world... This is a 12,288(!) core system. The previous Blue Gene/L was #68 (and ranked much higher earlier on), but it's been replaced only a couple of weeks ago with a Blue Gene/P, in other words, it's even quicker!

 

for some undisclosed appointment(^_^), i visited the High Performance Computing & Visualization Centre (HPC/V) this afternoon. And of course I took some pics!

 

(we were in a little bit of a rush, so quite some of these pics are a little shaky because my camera still was on iso 50...)

 

(i visited this very same centre more than five years ago too....)
