OLCF Supercharges Supercomputer Analytics with Apache Kafka

The high-performance computing (HPC) systems at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) are about to vault into the “pubsub” era of real-time streaming analytics. Employing the open-source Apache Kafka event-streaming platform, ORNL’s HPC Core Operations (Ops) Group has built a whole new publish/subscribe system for…

A Novel Method for Comparing Plant Genes

A map of gene expression correlation triangles, with positive correlations (blue edges) between Kalanchoë genes (dark green nodes) and pineapple genes (yellow nodes) and negative correlations (red edges) between Kalanchoë or pineapple genes and Arabidopsis genes (light green nodes). During normal photosynthesis, plants capture sunlight and carry out respiration during…

A Real CAM-Do Attitude

Photosynthesis, the method plants use to convert energy from the sun into food, is a ubiquitous process many people learn about in elementary school. Almost all plants use photosynthesis to gather energy and stay alive. Not all photosynthetic processes are the same, though. In recent years, researchers have grown increasingly…

OLCF Dives into Deep Learning

The Deep Learning Users Group, organized by the OLCF’s Advanced Data and Workflow Group, gathered this summer to discuss topics related to deep learning, a fast-growing offshoot of machine learning with potential for automating knowledge discovery. Though they sprout from the same family tree, scientific computing and artificial intelligence (AI)…
