  1. HPC TOP 5 STORIES Weekly Insights into the World of High Performance Computing

  2. HPC AND AI HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR GROUNDBREAKING DISCOVERIES IN SCIENCE, MEDICINE, AND OTHER FIELDS…

  3. PROVING THAT AI IS THE FUTURE OF SUPERCOMPUTING…

  4. TOP 5 HERE ARE THE “TOP FIVE’ STORIES HIGHLIGHTING WHAT’S HOT IN HPC AND AI

  5. TOP 5 1. More Oil, Less Toil: How GPUs Can Make the Most of Fossil Fuel Resources 2. GPU Ready App- SpecFem3D Globe Quick Start Guides Now Available 3. NVIDIA: Mayo Clinic Turns to AI to Improve Brain Tumor Treatment 4. ParaView Users- Bring Your Data to GTC, Gather Insights Like Never Before 5. ASC17 Challenge Established a New HPL Record

  6. 1 MORE OIL, LESS TOIL: HOW GPUS CAN MAKE THE MOST OF FOSSIL FUEL RESOURCES GPUs have shrunk half a football field’s worth of computing power into less space than a ping pong table on their way to helping the oil industry reach a performance milestone – simulating and oil reservoir with a billion computational cells They did it in a fraction of the time that CPUs require, while using fewer computing resources and 10 percent of the power. Oil companies model underground reservoirs before they drill to figure out how to extract the most petroleum with the least financial and environmental risk. A billion-cell simulation is extremely challenging because of its complexity; cells represent different characteristics of the reservoir including the soil and fluid pressure. BLOG

  7. 2 NEW GPU READY APP QUICK START GUIDE: SPECFEM3D GLOBE SPECFEM3D Globe simulates global and continental scale regional seismic wave propagation. This application enables researchers to analyze the effects of lateral variations in compressional-wave speed, shear-wave speed, density, rotation, and self-gravitation on a 3D crustal model. The latest version 7.0 offers GPU graphics card support for both OpenCL and CUDA hardware accelerators, based on an automatic source-to-source transformation library. SPECFEM3D GLOBE runs over 25x faster on a single NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPU, helping scientists run their seismic simulations in days instead of weeks. GET STARTED

  8. 3 NVIDIA: MAYO CLINIC TURNS TO AI TO IMPROVE BRAIN TUMOR TREATMENT The work, called radiogenomics, “reflects the almost unthinkable thought that in the appearance of images, we can figure out the genomic properties of tumors,” Erickson said. This achievement has placed Erickson and a team of Mayo Clinic researchers among five finalists for NVIDIA’s 2017 Global Impact Award. We award annual grants totaling $150,000 to two teams of researchers using NVIDIA technology for groundbreaking work that addresses social, humanitarian and environmental problems. EXPLORE

  9. 4 PARAVIEW USERS- BRING YOUR DATA TO GTC, GATHER INSIGHTS LIKE NEVER BEFORE Visualization tools like ParaView are invaluable for analyzing high performance computing simulations, like weather forecasting and modeling Earth’s interior. But rendering unstructured time-series data is slow. This limits users’ ability to gather insights. To address this challenge, we collaborated with Kitware to develop a plugin that uses the NVIDIA IndeX volume visualization tool. It integrates seamlessly with ParaView, allowing users to interactively analyze unstructured, time-series data. BLOG

  10. 5 ASC17 CHALLENGE ESTABLISHED A NEW HPL RECORD On April 26, the very first day of the ASC Student Supercomputer Challenge (ASC17), Weifang University from China, setting new student competition HPL record with 31.70 TFLOPS. Weifang University is a common college from China Shandong Province, for them this is the second time to participate in ASC17 challenge and the first time finalist. The HPL test in ASC17 has strict rules for competing teams to complete the construction of a supercomputing system with a total power constraint of 3000W using equipment such as Inspur supercomputing nodes, high-speed networks and self- configuration accelerator cards provided by the organizing committee. The team from Weifang University designed a heterogeneous supercomputing system using 5 Inspur supercomputing servers and 10 P100 GPU accelerator cards to achieve a consistent floating-point performance of 31.7 TFLOPS.
