Doubling Compute Capacity for Data-Intensive Physics with Microsoft Azure

SDSC and OSG used Microsoft Azure Cloud Services to enable scientists to accomplish in a few days what would normally take them weeks, thus accelerating science and opening up new scientific pursuits.

Frank Würthwein Named Director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center

The San Diego Supercomputer Center has a new director. Frank Würthwein, lead of SDSC’s Distributed High-Throughput Computing Group, executive director of the Open Science Grid, a physics professor and a founding faculty member of the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute at UC San Diego assumes the role

Physics, Computation Experts Help Earn $15M to Advance AI, Data Analysis

As scientific data sets become progressively larger, algorithms to process the data become more complex. Artificial Intelligence has emerged as a solution to efficiently analyze these massive data sets, and new computer processor types help speed up the work of AI algorithms.

San Diego Supercomputer Center Takes a Lead in Fighting Fires Proactively

According to scientists, a century of suppressing wildfires has created a dangerous stockpile of flammable vegetation on landscapes. This “fire fuel” has fed the megafires that put human life and property at risk and permanently destroy ecosystems.

Comet Supercomputer Used to Illustrate Methane Storage Applications

Methane storage applications are a key bridging technology to carbon-free chemical fuels. A first-year grad student at UCSD has worked with an international team on a study of zeolite-templated carbon as a gas-storage material. Comet allowed faster completion of their experiments.
