It takes a supercomputer to grow a better soybean. A project called the Soybean Knowledge Base, or SoyKB for short, wants to do just that. Scientists at the University of Missouri-Columbia developed SoyKB. They say they've made SoyKB a publicly-available web resource for all soybean data, from molecular data to field data that includes several analytical tools. SoyKB has grown to be used by thousands of soybean researchers in the U.S. and beyond. They did it with the support of XSEDE, the Extreme

2016/07/11

Supercomputers might have helped unlock a new way to make controlled beams of gamma rays, according to scientists at the University of Texas at Austin. The simulations done on the Stampede and Lonestar systems at TACC will guide a real experiment later this summer in 2016 with the recently upgraded Texas Petawatt Laser, one of the most powerful in the world. The scientists say the quest for producing gamma rays from non-radioactive materials will advance basic understanding of things like the inside

2016/05/24

On May 15th Austin, Texas held a Zika Hackathon. More than 50 data scientists, engineers, and UT Austin students gathered downtown at the offices of Cloudera, a big data company. They used big data to help fight the spread of Zika. Mosquitos carry and spread the Zika virus, which can cause birth defects and other symptoms like fever. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control is now ramping up collection of data that tracks Zika spread. But big gaps exist in linking different kinds of data, and that makes

Sudden Collapse: Supercomputing Spotlight on Gels

2016/05/03

Chemical engineering researcher Roseanna Zia has begun to shed light on the secret world of colloidal gels - liquids dispersed in a solid. Yogurt, shampoo, and Jell-o are just a few examples. Sometimes gels act like liquids, and sometimes they act like a solid. Understanding the theory behind these transitions can translate to real-world applications, such as helping understand why mucus - also a colloidal gel - in the airway of people with cystic fibrosis can thicken, resist flow and possibly

Docker for Science

Supersized Science ·

2016/04/28

Scientists might find a friend in the open source software called Docker. It's a platform that bundles up the loose ends of applications - the software and the dependencies that sustain it - into something fairly light that can run on any system. As more scientists share not only their results but their data and code, Docker is helping them reproduce the computational analysis behind the results. What's more, Docker is one of the main tools used in the Agave API platform, a platform-as-a-service

UT Austin astronomer Steven Finkelstein eyes Wrangler supercomputer for HETDEX extragalactic survey, in this interview with host Jorge Salazar. A million galaxies far, far away are predicted to be discovered before the year 2020 thanks to a monumental mapping of the night sky in search of a mysterious force. That's according to scientists working on HETDEX, the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment. They're going to transform the big data from galaxy spectra billions of light-years away
