One of the undisputed highlights of SC each November is the acclaimed ACM Gordon Bell Prize in High Performance Computing, which since 1987 has recognized the most innovative applications of parallel computing to challenges in science, engineering, and large-scale data analytics. This year, five outstanding research efforts competed for the honor, which comes with a $10,000 prize, Read more…
With so much on the menu at SC with its exceptional program of technical papers, tutorials, research posters, and Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions, it’s difficult to choose the best part, but it’s safe to say that the Gordon Bell Prize is not just a highlight of SC, it’s one of the highest honors in HPC. Every year Read more…
This year at SC13 we counted over 100 HPC-specific announcements that hit the wires over the course of the week, many of which were from vendors, organizations and users that we were within a short walk across the show floor in Denver. We wanted to point to some of the key newsmakers during the show, Read more…
Each year at SC, the ACM hands out one of the most coveted awards, the Gordon Bell Prize. The award, which became a regular feature of SC, began in 1987 and now carries a $10,000 prize sponsored by parallel computing luminary, Gordon Bell. Winners demonstrate high peak performance figures on real world applications or demonstrate Read more…
A research feature at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing website explores how sheer computing speed and algorithm improvements have put an international team of scientists in the running for this year’s Gordon Bell Prize. The team from ETH Zurich in Switzerland and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have performed simulations of high-temperature superconductors topping 15 Read more…
The illuminated compact region shining from the center of an active galaxy is known as an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Active galactic nuclei can produce jets of plasma thousands of light-years long. Consider popular images of galaxies speared by intense light. Many astronomers believe that this explosive energy output is powered by supermassive black holes Read more…

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Sequoia supercomputer, a TOP500 chart topper, was built to handle top secret nuclear weapons simulations, but before it goes behind the classified curtain, it is generating sophisticated cardiac simulations.
