Changing the Face of High-Performance Computing through Greater Performance, Collaboration, and Affordability

Overview With the ever-increasing demand for cost-effective compute power, High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters, based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications versus proprietary systems, have rapidly advanced to the forefront of computational science and engineering. Choosing the right computing architecture for HPC solutions can be a daunting task as organizations balance pure performance and availability requirements with budgetary and resource considerations to deliver a maximum return-on-investment. This paper specifically addresses how HPC solutions powered by Intel and Dell offer the best choice for science and engineering communities and businesses with computationally-intensive requirements.

What is the Nature of Dark Matter and Dark Energy?

What is the universe made of? The answer to this very simple question is not so simple. Baryons, the familiar neutrons and protons of which we, Earth and the stars are...

Global Radiation Changes in the Lower Atmosphere Related to Solar Activity Phenomena

The Earth's climate is known to depend strongly on the solar radiation input in the lower atmosphere, being an important energy source of atmospheric circulation. Although the solar irradiance changes...

Effects of Geomagnetic Storms on the Ionosphere and Atmosphere

Geomagnetic storms are probably the most important phenomenon among those related to solar wind and high-energy particles. They produce large and global disturbances in the ionosphere, but they affect also...

Spaceport Concept and Technology Roadmapping

The concept of collecting solar energy in space through orbiting platforms and transmitting that energy to Earth for providing electrical power is one possibility for providing clean, affordable energy for...
