Galaxies have halos surrounding them, which may be composed of both dark and regular matter. This image shows a substructure within a halo in the Q Continuum
When the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) launched its first supercomputer, a Cray XMP-48, it was about as powerful as an iPhone is today. Now SDSC has formally taken the wraps off Comet, a new petascale supercomputer that is over 2 million times more powerful than that first system.
Using breakthrough techniques on some of the world
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and IBM have announced an agreement to collaborate on the development of a powerful tool built upon IBM
(PhysOrg.com) -- While physicists at the Large Hadron Collider smash together thousands of protons and other particles to see what matter is made of, they
A group of three researchers from KEK, Shizuoka University and Osaka University has for the first time revealed the way our universe was born with 3 spatial dimensions from 10-dimensional superstring theory in which spacetime has 9 spatial directions and 1 temporal direction. This result was obtained by numerical simulation on a supercomputer.
IBM has announced the Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, with peak performance of 20 petaflops and 16 multi-processing core technology, marking it as one of the
The Japanese supercomputer K broke its own record this week by hitting 10 quadrillion calculations per second (10.51 petaflops), exceeding its previous
Cray Inc. has signed a $97 million contract to upgrade the Cray XT5 Jaguar supercomputer located at the Department of Energy
Trestles, a supercomputer launched earlier this year, is proving itself as a valuable resource for researchers across a wide range of disciplines, from astrophysics to molecular dynamics, who need access to computational resources with rapid turnaround.
A new supercomputer having Northern Europe
(PhysOrg.com) -- The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) campus in Oak Ridge Tennessee will soon play host once again to the fastest computer in the world (barring any new sudden announcements by the Chinese). The computer, dubbed "Titan" has been commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy, and is expected to achieve 20,000 trillion calculations (20 petaflops) per second.
