Quantum Chromodynamics on a space-time lattice – building up the femto universe of atomic nuclei on a computer
09 Sep 2013 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Akira Ukawa
Everyone knows that all atoms are made of atomic nuclei and electrons around them, and that atomic nuclei are made of protons and neutrons bound by pions. Every scientist would know that protons and neutrons in turn are made of quarks, and are bound by gluons. Not every scientist may know,...

Modern GPU Programming with CUDA and Thrust
12 Sep 2013 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Gilles Civario
Today's GPUs are massively parallel devices which provide programmers with TeraFlops supercomputing performance. But programming these devices and exploiting their fantastic potential is not always easy and might discourage application developers. CUDA for example is too often seen as a very low...

HPC Software Engineering: "Do as I say, not as I do"
19 Sep 2013 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Erik Lindahl
Most scientific software projects started as a quick hack on somebody's laptop, but before you know it there might be dozens of future students and postdocs involved. However, unlike 30 years ago, today few of us are only one supercomputer from a single vendor providing a single compiler. Many...
