2017/07/19

In 2017, the Stampede supercomputer, funded by the National Science Foundation, completed its five-year mission to provide world-class computational resources and support staff to more than 11,000 U.S. users on over 3,000 projects in the open science community. But what made it special? Stampede was like a bridge that moved thousands of researchers off of soon-to-be decommissioned supercomputers, while at the same time building a framework that anticipated the eminent trends that came to dominate

Podcast host Jorge Salazar interviews Xian-He Sun, Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at the Illinois Institute of Technology. What if scientists could realize their dreams with big data? On the one hand you have parallel file systems for number crunching. On the other, you have Hadoop file systems, made for cloud computing with data analytics. The problem is that one doesn't know what the other is doing. You have to copy files from parallel to Hadoop. Doing that is so slow it can turn a

When Data's Deep, Dark Places Need to be Illuminated

2017/02/07

The World Wide Web is like an iceberg, with most of its data hidden below the surface. There lies the 'deep web,' estimated at 500 times bigger than the 'surface web' that most people see through search engines like Google. A innovative data-intensive supercomputer at TACC called Wrangler is helping researchers get meaningful answers from the hidden data of the public web. Wrangler uses 600 terabytes of flash storage that speedily reads and write files. This lets it fly past bottlenecks with big

2016/09/16

A new kind of supercomputer system has come online at the Texas Advanced Computing Center. It's called Hikari, which is Japanese for "light." What's new is that Hikari is the first supercomputer in the US to use solar panels and High Voltage Direct Current, or HVDC for its power. Hikari hopes to demonstrate that HVDC works not only for supercomputers, but also for data centers and commercial buildings. The Hikari project is a collaboration headed by NTT Facilities, based out of Japan and with the
