Robert Roe talks to Antonio Peña EPEEC, project coordinator and senior researcher for the Barcelona Supercomputing Center about progress on a European programming framework for HPC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Centre has announced that the MareNostrum 4 supercomputer now has three operational racks of IBM Power 9 servers in its production system. The new servers deliver with a peak performance of 1.5 petaflops
In the 16th PRACE Call for Project Access, Spain has allocated 470 million core hours on the MareNostrum supercomputer to 17 projects led by scientists from different European countries
Research carried out Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) which reanalysed public genetic data using innovative computational methods has enabled the identification of new genetic markers associated with an increased risk to develop Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)
In January 2020 the American Diabetes Association released a new set of clinical standards that, for the first time, included the use of an FDA-approved autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) platform for detecting diabetic retinopathy in people with diabetes.
At the end of February physIQ and the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs published data from a clinical trial demonstrating the use of physIQ’s machine-learning algorithm to predict when an individual patient with previously diagnosed heart failure will likely require a readmission to hospital.
Cloud research tools provide a platform for new avenues of scientific research by providing fast access to bare-metal resources.
New processors and GPU technology continue to demand more power than the previous generations, combining this with increasingly dense architectures requires cooling solutions such as liquid or immersion cooling.
Tate Cantrell, CTO, Verne Global, comments on the cost of the AI computing revolution
European researchers are working on a new programming environment for exascale computing that aims to make using these systems more efficient and programmers more productive.
