PRACE, XSEDE Issue Call for Expressions of Interest

July 20 -- 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 15 September 2012.

NASA Builds Supercomputing Lab for Earth Scientists

This week, NASA announced it would soon be launching a new HPC and data facility that will give Earth scientists access to four decades of satellite imagery and other datasets. Known as the NASA Earth Exchange (NEX), the facility is being promoted as a “virtual laboratory” for researchers interested in applying supercomputing resources to studying areas like climate change, soil and vegetation patterns, and other environmental topics.

Mellanox Roars Through Second Quarter As InfiniBand Revenue Takes Off

With the rollout of high performance, lossless Ethernet products over the last few years, there were more than a few analysts predicting the slow retreat of InfiniBand. But thanks to a peculiar confluence of technology roadmaps, a payoff in some investments made by Mellanox, and a pent-up demand for server and storage deployment now being alleviated by Intel's Romley platform, InfiniBand is having a big year.

Too Big to FLOP?

At the cutting edge of HPC, bigger has always been seen as better and user demand has been the justification. However, as we now grapple with trans-petaflop machines and strive for exaflop ones, is evidence emerging that contradicts these notions? Might computers be getting too big to effectively serve up those FLOPS?
