SiCortex Kicks Off "Science to Science" Webinar Series

Webinar series features presentations by scientists, for scientists, highlighting research driven by high productivity computing

March 17 -- SiCortex, Inc., maker of the world's most energy-efficient high-productivity computing (HPC) systems, will host a "Science to Science" Webinar series, a global industry forum intended to spotlight the use of HPC systems in advancing scientific discovery. During the inaugural Webinar, researchers from the Louisiana State University (LSU) Department of Physics and Astronomy and the LSU Center for Computation and Technology will present "From Black Holes to Gamma-Ray Bursts." This research, performed on SiCortex computers, represents a breakthrough in large data-set simulations on the CACTUS computation framework.

In each installment of the series, scientists from renowned academic institutions will present the results of groundbreaking research projects and discuss the implications of their findings using dynamic visual presentations. Participants can look forward to research results and thought-provoking discussions in astrophysics, physics, earth sciences, computer science and ecology.

During the first Webinar, LSU Researcher Steven Brandt and Assistant Professor Eric Schnetter will present the results of their research examining gravitational waves and black holes, the largest of its kind funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The researchers will discuss the implications of their findings using dynamic visual representations of an actual black hole simulation.

Tuesday, March 17, 2009, at 11:00 a.m. EST in English. Subsequent broadcasts in German and Chinese will take place later this year.

Registration information is available at http://www.sicortex.com/news_events/campaigns/lsu_webinar.

"Science to Science" Webinars are intended for scientists, mathematicians and enthusiasts of the scientific community.

NVIDIA Works On CPU Co-Dependency Issues with Kepler GPU

NVIDIA is telling everyone that the GK110, its new Kepler GPU aimed at supercomputing, is all about improving performance per watt. But the other driving theme behind the new architecture is reducing the GPU's reliance on its CPU host. How well it accomplishes both these goals areas could determine the success of the new chip in high performance computing.
