PRACE, XSEDE Team Up to Promote Trans-Atlantic Collaboration

July 17 -- The Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe (PRACE) and the National Science Foundation-funded Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) team up to foster collaborations among U.S. and European scientists and engineers.

PRACE and XSEDE issued a joint call for Expressions of Interest (EoI): U.S. and European researchers who wish to work together using PRACE and XSEDE resources and services to advance scientific discoveries are invited to reply.

"XSEDE and PRACE have been collaborating for several years, most visibly with the joint summer school series,” said John Towns, XSEDE principal investigator and project director. “This call for Expressions of Interest is a precursor to supporting science and engineering collaborations in an unprecedented way.”

“We are looking forward to receiving feedback on the needs and expectations from the user communities of the major HPC infrastructures on both sides of the Atlantic,” adds Maria Ramalho, Managing Director of PRACE.

Expressions of Interest should be submitted to prace-xsede@prace-ri.eu or prace-xsede@xsede.org before September 15, 2012.

Researchers Squeeze GPU Performance from 11 Big Science Apps

In a report published this week, researchers documented that GPU-equipped supercomputers enabled application speedups between 1.4x and 6.1x across a range of well-known science codes. While those results aren't the order of magnitude performance increases that were being bandied about in the early days of GPU computing, the researchers were encouraged that the technology is producing consistently good results with some of the most popular HPC science applications in the world.

Tackling the Data Deluge: File Systems and Storage Technologies

06/25/2012 | NetApp | A single hour of data collection can result in 7+ million files from just one camera. Collection opportunities are limited and must be successful every time. As defense and intelligence agencies seek to use the data collected to make mission-critical battlefield decisions, there’s greater emphasis on smart data and imagery collection, capture, storage and analysis to drive real-time intelligence. The data gathered must accurately and systematically be analyzed, integrated and disseminated to those who need it – troops on the ground. This reality leads to an inevitable challenge – warfighters swimming in sensors, drowning in data. With the millions, if not billions, of sensors providing all-seeing reports of the combat environment, managing the overload demands a file system and storage infrastructure that scales and performs while protecting the data collected. Part II of our whitepaper series highlights NetApp’s scalable, modular, and flexible storage solution to handle the demanding requirements of sophisticated ISR environments.
