Nov 12, 2012'World's Fastest Supercomputer' Crowned in USLiveScience In the clash of the world's supercomputing titans, a new U.S. supercomputer named "Titan" is king. The $100-million Titan seized the No. 1 supercomputer ranking on the Top500 List with a performance record of 17.59 petaflops per second (... |
Nov 8, 2012Petaflops performance scored running universe simulationASCR Discovery It takes big computers to recreate the biggest thing there is – the observable universe – with enough details to help cosmologists understand how it looks and why its expansion is accelerating. A research team led by Salman Habib and Katrin Heitmann of Argonne National Laboratory is... |
Nov 8, 2012Inside The Largest Simulation Of The Universe Ever Createdpopsci.com Imagine being asked to solve a complex algebra problem that is roughly 95 percent variables and only five percent known values. This is a rough analogy perhaps, but it paints a fairly accurate picture of the task faced by modern cosmologists. The prevailing line of thinking says that the... |
