 The Future Looks Bright for Teraflop Computing
"
Amazing power in the lab is feasible right now - and for a bargain price - but programming is required
"
– Rob Farber
Wouldn't it be great to have a teraflop of computing power sitting in your lab, desktop workstation, or remote instrument server? Talk about simplifying workflows, eliminating competition for HPC resources, and allowing more scientists and technicians to get more work done! Well, the computer industry is marketing that capability now in the form of high-end video cards - and for a bargain price... continue
 Visualizing the Universe
"Hayden Planetarium achieves high-quality visualization with commodity hardware"
– Suzanne Tracy
In its space show presentations, the Hayden Planetarium blends the fields of scientific visualization, presentation graphics, and Hollywood-style animation. In so doing, it runs along the bleeding edge of several challenges facing the field of scientific visualization. To meet these challenges, the planetarium uses off-the-shelf commercial hardware that takes advantage of a recent revolution in graphics processing power... continue
A Look at the World's Most Powerful Supercomputer
"NCCS's Jaguar enables vital scientific research" – Douglas B. Kothe
The National Center for Computational Sciences at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is using its massive Cray XT4 supercomputer to help scientists explore many important areas and previously unanswered questions. With unprecedented computational power and balance - and more to come over the next several years as NCCS systems scale to a petaflop and beyond - researchers at the NCCS are pushing the boundaries of knowledge in a wide range of scientific disciplines... continue
