Jülich Supercomputers Power New Insights into Brain Imaging
April 6, 2020 by
Researchers are using biophysical modeling and simulations on Jülich supercomputers to develop new brain tissue imaging methods. “When generating a detailed network model of the brain, nerve fiber crossings pose a major challenge for current neuroimaging techniques. Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have now found that scattered light can be used to resolve the brain’s substructure like the crossing angles of the nerve fibers with micrometer resolution. For their studies, the researchers combined microscopy measurements and simulations on supercomputers.”
GPU-Powered Turbocharger coming to JUWELS Supercomputer at Jülich
November 14, 2019 by
The Jülich Supercomputing Centre is adding a high-powered booster module to their JUWELS supercomputer. Designed in cooperation with Atos, ParTec, Mellanox, and NVIDIA, the booster module is equipped with several thousand GPUs designed for extreme computing power and artificial intelligence tasks. “With the launch of the booster in 2020, the computing power of JUWELS will be increased from currently 12 to over 70 petaflops.”

GCS in Germany Appoints Prof. Dr. Dieter Kranzlmüller as Chairman of the Board
May 13, 2019 by
Today the Gauss Centre for Supercomputing in Germany announced the appointment of Prof. Dr. Dieter Kranzlmüller as its new Chair of the Board of Directors. “As we advance towards the exascale threshold of computing and an era of unprecedented discovery and insights driven by the integration of modeling and simulation, data analytics and artificial intelligence, GCS stands ready to provide the basis and the catalyst of innovation–the hardware, software ecosystem, experience and expertise–needed to boost scientific and industrial breakthroughs.”
Call For Proposals: Worldwide GPU Hackathons in 2019
January 23, 2019 by
ORNL has issued its Call for Proposals for a set of global GPU Hackathons in 2019. “A GPU hackathon is a 5-day coding event in which teams of developers port their applications to run on GPUs, or optimize their applications that already run on GPUs. Each team consists of three or more developers who are intimately familiar with (some part of) their application, and they work alongside two mentors with GPU programming expertise. The mentors come from universities, national laboratories, supercomputing centers, government institutions, and vendors.”
