SC17 Video Sheds Light on How Supercomputers Are Unraveling the Mystery of the Human Brain
A video produced by the SC17 conference highlights how the massive European-based Human Brain Project (HBP), comprising a veritable orchestra of scientists, collaborates to deliver the most exquisitely detailed human brain models ever created. According to experts, detailed and accurate brain models are a game-changer for neuroscience and related research. What if instead of behavioral research, […]

SC17 Invited Talk Preview: Dr. Hans-Joachim Bungartz Presents “Citius, Altius, Fortius!”
Abstract Description: What makes HPC actually high-performing? Besides the (typically mentioned) large-scale computational problems and the resulting involvement of large-scale computing infrastructure, it is probably the pursuit of efficiency at all levels, in order to obtain the high performance desired. Here, both performance and efficiency can have completely different meanings: the classical complexity-driven one (O(N […]
SC17 Invited Talk Preview: Dr. Theresa L. Windus Presents “Taking the Nanoscale to the Exascale”
Abstraction Description: Chemistry is a central science in that, at its core, chemistry is the understanding of the way atoms and molecules interact. Chemistry influences many areas such as physics, biology, pharmaceuticals, materials, and chemical engineering. Computational chemistry, while a relatively young part of the chemistry field, has become a third pillar in the science […]
