NCSA Reflects on 35 Years as a Supercomputing Powerhouse
But 1986 did have some bright spots. IBM introduced the world’s first laptop computer. Author and humanitarian Elie Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize. And the National Science Foundation established the National Center for Supercomputing Applications as part of its Supercomputer Centers Program.
From Coffee Cart to Educational Computing Platform – UCSD News
In classic UC San Diego fashion, an overheard conversation at a campus coffee cart has turned into an interdisciplinary project that's making computing-intensive coursework more exciting while saving well over one million dollars so far.
SC21: Larry Smarr on The Rise of Supernetwork Data Intensive Computing – HPC Wire
November 26, 2021 - At SC21 last week, Smarr delivered a racing reprise of this (ongoing) HPC tour de force in his talk, The Rise of Supernetwork Data Intensive Computing. Presented here are a sampling of his comments (lightly edited) and quite a few of his slides.
Professor de Callafon helps build cyber-infrastructure to aid wildfire hazard assessment and response – MAE News
The system will integrate networked observations such as heterogeneous satellite data and real-time remote sensor data, with computational techniques in signal processing, visualization, modeling, and data assimilation to provide a scalable method to monitor such phenomena as weather patterns that can help predict a wildfire's rate of spread.Pacific Research Platform Video
Building on years of research in network engineering and data-intensive collaborative science, the Pacific Research Platform was born in 2015 with a grant from the National Science Foundation.
