Genomic sequences processed in minutes, rather than weeks

...s composed of many processors. For example, PNNL's supercomputer has 1,960 processors ?a big machine with lots of memory and the ability to tackle large problems. However, without special modifications, software doesn't run any faster on it than it would on a personal computer. In order to get answers to complicat...

Avian flu modeled on supercomputer, explores vaccine and isolation options for thwarting a pandemic

...nuclear weapons program. It runs on the Los Alamos supercomputer known as Pink, a 1,024-node (2,048 processor) LinuxBIOS/BProc "Science Appliance" running Clustermatic 3, the largest single-system image Linux cluster in the world. Pink's nodes have dual 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon processors (Pentium 4) with 2 gigabytes of...

Meeting the ethanol challenge: Scientists use supercomputer to target cellulose bottleneck

...too quickly to evaluate visually, but by using the supercomputer simulations to break the throw down into a step-by-step process, the scientists can see the precise details of the role of velocity, trajectory, movement, and arm angle. To undertake the large-scale simulations, the researchers used the CHARMM (Chemi...
