In this video from PASC17, Matthias Troyer from Microsoft Research presents: Towards Quantum High Performance Computing. “A century after the development of quantum mechanics we have now reached an exciting time where computational devices that make use of quantum effects can be built. Quantum random number generators, analog quantum simulators and quantum annealers are already […]
In this video from PASC17, Jack Wells from ORNL moderates a panel discussion on Sustainable Software Development and Publication Practices in the Computational Sciences. “The goal of the PASC papers program is to advance the quality of formal scientific communication between the relative disciplines of computational science and engineering. The program was built from an observation […]
In this video from PASC17, John Shalf from LBNL moderates a panel discussion on Moore’s Law. “By most accounts, we are nearing the limits of conventional photolithography processes. It will be challenging to continue to shrink feature sizes smaller than 5nm and still realize any performance improvement for digital electronics in silicon. At the current […]
In this video from PASC17, Christoph Schär (ETH Zurich, Switzerland) presents: How to Escape from the Data Avalanche of High Resoultion Climate Models. “There are large efforts towards refining the horizontal resolution of climate models to O(1 km) with the intent to represent convective clouds explicitly rather than using semi-empirical parameterizations. This refinement would move […]
