Supercomputing Super Eruptions at BSC
by Rich Brueckner from High-Performance Computing News Analysis | insideHPC on (#1486W)
Researchers at BSC are using the MareNostrum supercomputer to study super eruptions--volcanic events with most destructive force on this planet. Only a few super volcanos exist in the world and when they erupt, they do so with a force tens of thousands of times greater than other eruptions. "A new study on the Campanian Ignimbrite super-eruption, which took place some 39,000 years ago near the modern city of Naples, provides a detailed reconstruction of this natural phenomenon which slowed the advance of Modern Humans in Europe."
