ISC08: Back to complex programming ?

2008-07-24T10:29:23+02:00

Supercomputing Europe in Dresden, Germany (ISC08) is over and brought its new announcements in High Performance Computing. This year, two major symbolic milestones have been announced: the first machine over one PFLOPS (10^15 floating operations per second), the IBM Roadrunner, and the first main-stream chips reaching one TFLOPS (10^12 floating operations per second), the GPUs from nVidia and AMD/ATI.

Well, symbols are nothing else than abstract concepts but these symbols remind us that as the computing world evolves faster and faster,…

A new approach in urban modeling & simulation from HPC Project and Parallel Geometry

During the last EUROSATORY show, held at Paris, France (June, 16-20), HPC Project showcased the latest innovations in simulation. This was the first case EUROSATORY dedicated a display area specifically for the Training & Smulation sector. In this context, the showcase was featuring the latest simulation, computation and man-machine interface technologies. It was located in the middle of the Training & Simulation area.

The showcase highlighted the latest and cutting-edge simulation technologies, gathering ten leading companies of the field. The goal…

Supercomputing is shaping Formula 1 cars : what’s next?

2008-05-16T11:41:33+02:00

As the F1 racing season goes on, it becomes clearer that the shape of the cars used in F1 is evolving and can sometimes be counterintuitive. Take the BMW Sauber F1 car – the shape of the front wing and the winglets is conceived to optimize aerodynamics in a new way. The car is clearly different, and evolves between two races.

To achieve such optimization, BMW Sauber uses the services of ALBERT2, a 2048 cores (Intel Xeon) supercomputer, with a maximum…
