Visual Exploration of Network Traffic for Host and Server Monitoring: The screenshot shows the hourly amount of network traffic for thousands of hosts in a large computer network for 24 hours. The different nested circles represent the topological subnet hierarchy of the network. Each filled circle represents a whole subnet or when zoomed in single […]

SC15 Invited Talk Spotlight: Trends and Challenges in Computational Modeling of Giant Hydrocarbon Reservoirs
Multimodal visualization of giant oil and gas reservoir models. Giant oil and gas reservoirs continue to play an important role in providing energy to the world. Nowadays, state of the art technologies are utilized to further explore and produce these reservoirs since a slight increase in the recovery amounts to discovering a mid-size reservoir somewhere […]

The following is an interesting look at one of the nine Student Cluster Competition teams competing in Austin this November. Click here to learn more about some of the other teams. For what reasons […]
SC15 Invited Talk Spotlight: Reproducibility in High Performance Computing
The number of lines of code published in ACM Transactions on Mathematical Software, 1960–2012, on a log scale. The proportion of articles that published code remained roughly constant at about a third, with standard error of about 0.12, and the journal consistently published around thirty-five articles each year.

Invited Talk Spotlight: Supercomputing, High-Dimensional Snapshots, and Low-Dimensional Models – A Game Changing Computational Technology for Design and Virtual Testing
Aerodynamic analysis of a complete Formula 1 configuration (click on any image to enlarge it). During the last two decades, giant strides have been achieved in many aspects of computational engineering. Higher-fidelity mathematical models and faster numerical algorithms have been developed for an ever increasing number of applications. Linux clusters are now ubiquitous, GPUs continue […]
SC15 Releases Video on How Berkeley Lab’s Electrolyte Genome Project Could Be Battery Game-Changer
A new breakthrough battery—one that has significantly higher energy, lasts longer, and is cheaper and safer—will likely be impossible without a new material discovery. And a new material discovery could take years, if not decades, since trial and error has been the best available approach. But Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) scientist Kristin Persson […]
SC15 Invited Talk Spotlight: Superscalar Programming Models – Making Applications Platform Agnostic
StarSs is a task-based programming model by Barcelona Supercomputing Center that has the potential to change the way applications are developed (click on image to enlarge). Programming models play a key role providing abstractions of the underlying architecture and systems to the application developer and enabling the exploitation of the computing resources possibilities from a […]
SC15 Invited Talk Spotlight: Simulation and Compilation of Quantum Algorithms
First Majorana experiment (from Leo Kouwenhoven, TU Delft). Speaker: Dave Wecker, Microsoft The LIQUi|⟩ architecture (from the paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.4467). Languages, compilers, and computer-aided design tools will be essential for scalable quantum computing, which promises an exponential leap in our ability to execute complex tasks. LIQUi|> and SoLi|> provide a modular software architecture for the simulation […]
