  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. DeepSat: Monitoring the Earth’s Vitals with AI 2. MareNostrum 4 Supercomputer -- More to Come 3. On Thin Ice: How AI Predicts Melting of Sea Ice 4. Dell EMC Supercomputer to Power OzGRav Studies of Black Holes 5. Does AI Versus Human Get Under Your Skin?

  6. 1 DEEPSAT: MONITORING THE EARTH’S VITALS WITH AI In order to better keep a finger on the pulse of the Earth’s health, NASA developed DeepSat, a deep learning AI framework for satellite image classification and segmentation. An ensemble of deep neural networks within NASA’s Earth Science and Carbon Monitoring System, DeepSat provides vital signs of changing landscapes at the highest possible resolution, enabling scientists to use the data for independent modeling efforts. This is just one way innovation in deep learning and AI has lead to a deeper understanding of our planet. ARTICLE

  7. 2 MARENOSTRUM 4 SUPERCOMPUTER- MORE TO COME Barcelona's Supercomputing Center is aiming to lead the move in Europe from petascale to exascale computing -- one exaflops is 1,000 petaflops -- and the newly launched MareNostrum 4 is just part of that shift. The €34m ($40m) MareNostrum 4, which recently began operations, is the third fastest supercomputer in Europe and occupies 13th place in the Top500 list of the world's high-performance computing systems. It provides 11.1 petaflops for scientific research, 10 times more than MareNostrum 3, which was installed between 2012 and 2013. One petaflops is one thousand million million floating-point operations per second. LEARN MORE

  8. 3 ON THIN ICE: HOW AI PREDICTS MELTING OF SEA ICE Arctic sea ice that once foiled bold explorers and led sailors to their deaths is melting as the Earth warms. But instead of making seafaring safer, melting ice creates new perils for ships, and the people in northern communities who depend on them for food, fuel and other goods. To change that, Martin Richard, a professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland, is tapping GPU-powered AI to predict when and where ships are likely to encounter dangers in the Arctic ice. BLOG

  9. 4 DELL EMC SUPERCOMPUTER TO POWER OZGRAV STUDIES OF BLACK HOLES Today Dell EMC announced it will build a supercomputer to power Swinburne University of Technology’s groundbreaking research into astrophysics and gravitational waves. Called OzStar, the new supercomputer will be used by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGRav) to understand the extreme physics of black holes and warped space-time. The supercomputer will process incredibly large volumes of data coming from giant telescopes, searching for insights that could unlock answers about the Universe, reaffirming Swinburne’s position as a global leader in physics research.

  10. 5 DOES AI VERSUS HUMAN GET UNDER YOUR SKIN? Does the whole ‘machine replacing man’ storyline get under your skin? That’s what we’re going to discuss at the Basel Life Conference in Switzerland this September. For example, an article in Bloomberg’s Man vs. Machine provocatively tells us that an algorithm analyzing images has now proven to be as accurate at identifying malignant skin lesions as 21 dermatologists. The developer of the algorithm ‘envisions a future in which everyone can screen themselves for skin cancer with a phone’ -- in other words, offering supposedly more proof that it is inevitable that machines will replace the human.
