This feed was created to make NCSA content available through UI Now (http://www.publicaffairs.uiuc.edu/policy/uinowpolicy.html) http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/Stories/rotor/ Wed, 02 May 2012 19:33:00 GMT NCSA's GPU machines allow researchers to improve the fluid dynamics codes used for rotorcraft design. http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/Stories/NewPRACs/ Mon, 21 May 2012 19:23:00 GMT Four additional research teams have begun using the first phase of the Blue Waters sustained-petascale supercomputer to tackle challenging problems in science and engineering. They join six research groups that began using the system in March. http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/Stories/BW_HPSS/ Tue, 22 May 2012 15:32:00 GMT NCSA is adding 380 petabytes of automated, near-line storage capacity for data produced by scientists and engineers using the sustained petascale Blue Waters supercomputer and to support other projects. The center plans to eventually scale this dynamic, high-performance storage system to more than half an exabyte (>500 petabytes). http://illinois.edu/emailer/newsletter/23850.html Mon, 14 May 2012 20:05:00 GMT Registration is now open for XSEDE12, the inaugural conference of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) project, which is supported by the National Science Foundation. The conference runs July 16-20, 2012, at the InterContinental hotel, 505 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago. http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/12/0503NCSAhost.html Thu, 03 May 2012 15:49:00 GMT NCSA will host two courses offered by the Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering (VSCSE) this summer: Programming Heterogeneous Parallel Computing Systems, July 10-13 and Proven Algorithmic Techniques for Many-core Processors, Aug. 13-17. http://illinois.edu/emailer/newsletter/23260.html Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:03:00 GMT The workshop begins at noon on Sunday, July 15, and ends at 5 p.m. on Monday, July 16. The event includes a keynote on Sunday afternoon, along with a series of 90-minute sessions that include two presentations and a discussion of the issues raised in the presentations. After the workshop, proceedings???including the papers, presentations, and a summary of the discussions--will be made available via the ACM Digital Library. http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/12/0419NCSAdeploys.html Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:19:00 GMT NCSA has deployed the quantum chemistry software TeraChem 1.50 on the center's CPU-GPU cluster, Forge. TeraChem is designed to run on NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPU architectures and is the fastest GPU-accelerated computational chemistry software available. http://insidehpc.com/2012/04/13/video-ncsa-private-sector-program-%E2%80%93-accelerating-business-with-hpc-as-a-service/ Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:11:00 GMT In this video, Merle Giles from NCSA presents: Private Sector Program -- Accelerating Business with HPC as a Service. Recorded at Moab.Con 2012 in Park City, UT. http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/12/0410NCSAForge.html Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:21:00 GMT On Sept. 28, 2012, NCSA's Dell/NVIDIA cluster, Forge, will be decommissioned due to lack of ongoing support. Support for Forge has come primarily from the National Science Foundation, but there are also allocations supported by the University of Illinois, NCSA's Private Sector Program, and the NCSA Director's Office. http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/12/0410FreeAbaqus.html Tue, 10 Apr 2012 18:05:00 GMT There will be a free workshop on the basics of Abaqus, a suite of software applications for finite element analysis and computer-aided engineering from Dassault Systems, this Friday, April 13 from 8 am to 5 pm CST in Room 1040 at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (1205 W. Clark St., Urbana, IL).
