Going Boldly: Modeling the Cosmos with GPUs

Trying to determine the origins and fate of the universe is important work with far-reaching implications. But cosmologists, unlike their counterparts in other scientific fields, can’t do hands-on experiments to test their hypotheses. “The only way we can check our theories is through numerological simulations,” Claudio Gheller, a computational scientist at the Swiss National Supercomputing… Read More

Swiss National Supercomputing Center Plans to Scale Application Performance Heights With NVIDIA GPUs

Ask any weatherman: Predicting the weather is not easy. Throw in Switzerland’s many diverse microclimates and topographical features and the challenge is even greater. The Swiss National Supercomputing Center (CSCS), one of Europe’s top institutions for computational research, plans to change that by applying a petaflop of GPU-accelerated processing power to the problem. CSCS is… Read More

From Climate Modeling to Crysis 3 – How GeForce GTX TITAN Drops Big Science On Your Gaming Experience

Until recently, if you wanted to see NVIDIA’s most far-out GPU technology you had to travel to a secure government facility. Drive deep into the wooded hills of East Tennessee, show your ID to the stone-faced guard, and you’ll gain entrance to a realm with technology so advanced it’s science-fictioney. Turns out that when the… Read More
