1. Astrophysics: How to simulate the most catastrophic events in the universe

   09 Sep 2013 | Contributor(s):: Luciano Rezzolla

2. HPC & Life Sciences

   19 Sep 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Thomas Cheatham

   Biomolecular simulation provides a means to explore biomolecular structure, dynamics and interactions on timescales from femptoseconds to milliseconds on available high performance computing computational resources. Since the first protein simulations in ~1975, atomistic molecular dynamics (MD)...

3. HPC & the Inventor's dilemma: Abandoning 15 years of Molecular Simulation Work to Move to GPUs

   06 Sep 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Erik Lindahl

   Alternate Title:Parallel molecular dynamics - how we evolved from 10 cores to heterogeneous GPU acceleration and petascale parallelizationMolecular dynamics has come a long way the last 20 years; what was once a small esoteric technique in theoretical physics is now a standard tool of molecular...

4. HPC Software Engineering: "Do as I say, not as I do"

   19 Sep 2013 | | 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...

5. Quantum Chromodynamics on a space-time lattice – building up the femto universe of atomic nuclei on a computer

   09 Sep 2013 | | 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,...
