Certara, a specialist in model-informed drug development has announced that it has developed a report on viral kinetic (VK) modelling to accelerate research into drug-resistant strains of influenza
Engineers from the University of Leicester recently helped in the development of a new, electric sports car project - HIPERCAR.
Genomic sequencing may be about to get a lot faster with the application of optical co-processing technologies that are being deployed to accelerate sequence alignment – a technique that is necessary to establish functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships between the sequences
UK government has contracted project management firm, Amec Foster Wheeler, to lead a £2.9 million nuclear research program.
University of Manchester researchers investigating the gait and biomechanics of the T.rex have concluded that the animal would be unable to run as its leg bones would have buckled under the animal’s weight
The university of Aberdeen in the UK has announced that it is launching a new master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence
Elsevier has announced that applications and nominations for The Hive, its innovation hub for biotech and pharmaceutical startups, are now open
A powerful computer system capable of revolutionising the UK’s ability to plan for extreme events, such as flooding and power outages, is being designed as part of a government scheme to increase the nation’s resiliency to extreme weather events
At the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP) in Venice, the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider has reported the observation of a new particle with two heavy quarks
A team of researchers from Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) Computer-Aided Engineering Centre of Excellence (CompMechLab) has announced that it has created a protective container with some of the world’s best energy absorption characteristics
As not only the HPC industry but the larger computing ecosystem tries to overcome the slowdown and eventual end of transistor scaling described by Moore’s Law, scientists and researchers are implementing programmes that will define the technologies and new materials needed to supplement, or repla
Architectural specialisation is one option to continue to improve performance beyond the limits imposed by the slow down in Moore’s Law.
As the complexity of both HPC hardware and the challenges that scientists are trying to solve using HPC systems increases, ensuring a system is utilised efficiently is necessary to deliver a computing service with value for money and a high research output.
With data rates increasing and more complex challenges arising in life sciences, Panasas’ Jim Donovan and Dale Brantly discuss the benefits of using HPC for these workloads
