The publishers of the online supercomputing magazine HPCwire expect great things of ORNL computational chemist Edoardo Aprà in the coming year. Aprà is among 10 individuals included in the magazine’s “People to Watch” list for 2011.
Using Jaguar, a research team led by Aleksei Aksimentiev, assistant professor in the physics department at the University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign, began a project to create machines for personal genome sequencing that will be more accessible to hospitals.
Using Jaguar, SEACISM’s aim is to use state-of-the-art simulation to predict the behavior of ice sheets under a changing climate by developing scalable algorithms.
Users of ORNL’s Cray XT5 supercomputers will get an opportunity to hone their supercomputing skills this March at a weeklong “Spring Training” planned at ORNL.
Purdue researchers break petaflop barrier with study of electrons in computer chips A team led by Gerhard Klimeck of Purdue University has broken the petascale barrier while addressing a relatively old problem in the very young field of computer chip design. Using Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Jaguar supercomputer, Klimeck and…
