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.

Dr. Guang Gao, a distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering, along with Professor Roberto Giorgi, an associate professor at the Università degli Studi di Siena in Siena, Italy and primary investigator (Coordinator / Scientific Manager) of the TeraFlux project. 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.

1,792-Core Deskside Personal Supercomputer supporting up to four NVIDIA Tesla C2075 GPU cards and 24x 2.5" or 8x 3.5" hot-swap drive bays
The Cray 1 supercomputer was the fastest computer in the world for a year after its construction.
More importantly, it was a significant departure in aesthetics from the boxy designs typical of computer systems. Cray designed this system to with the goal of making its brand more identifiable. It encouraged its customers in industry to house this system in the lobbies of their headquarters in order to make computing more visible. Moreover, customers were able to order the vertical panels that encircle the system in a variety of color choices.
However, the design was also intended to be functional. It is believed that the round shape allowed for shorter lengths of cable between components. Due to the relationship between time and space that is inherent to electrical cables, this would make for a faster computer. Furthermore, the design may have allowed for better heat dissipation.

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 companies in this year’s class represent the ever-growing and diversifying entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our companies come from all over the country and bring unique skills, background and expertise to Boulder this summer. While individually different, they are all fueled by an unquenchable desire to improve the world by solving big problems.
This year’s class includes companies that are focused on helping brides get the dress they dream of (while staying within their budget) to enabling any child to make music to wearables that notify a loved one if you feel unsafe to helping home buyers/sellers save money and many more. These 10 companies stood out for their drive and passion to do something great and it’s a true honor and privilege to work with them.
We’re very excited to introduce the Techstars Boulder 2015 class:
adHawk: A mobile app that provides a bird’s eye view of all your digital marketing data in one place.
Blazing DB: An SQL database at supercomputer speeds that’s incredibly easy to use.
Edify: Empower every kid in the world to make their own music.
Flytedesk: A platform for buying and selling uncollected media, starting with college newspapers.
HobbyDB: The definitive database for collectors and hobbyists to manage and monetize their collections.
MadKudu: Data science that helps sales and support teams fight customer churn.
Revolar: The world’s smartest personal safety wearable device keeps you safe anytime, anywhere.
Stryd: The world’s first running power meter that helps runners improve their performance.
