Podcast: Why HPC is Vital at NASA
"At NASA, what we're doing is we're really looking at ways of making aircraft more efficient. We're trying to make them quieter. We're trying to make them get to cruise altitude faster, which saves the taxpayer or the people who are using airplanes a lot of money, and we look at really complex problems. We look at things like rotorcraft. If you think about how that model looks, it's a very complex model. What do we do with supercomputing?

Performance Gains Using Libraries
In many cases, applications that perform various simulations use some of the same math functions that many other applications use. Rather than each developer recoding the same math functions over and over, libraries, developed by experts can significantly speed up execution of the overall application. Since there can be many optimizations that experts who understand many of the nuances of the hardware would understand, it is important that developers be familiar with various libraries that are made available for HPC types of applications.The post Performance Gains Using Libraries appeared first on insideHPC.

Supercomputing the Secrets of the Snake Genome at TACC
Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington are using TACC supercomputers to study the unique traits of snake evolution. Led by assistant professor of biology Todd Castoe, the team is exploring the genomes of snakes and lizards to answer critical questions about these creatures' evolutionary history. For instance, how did they develop venom? How do they regenerate their organs? And how do evolutionarily-derived variations in genes lead to variations in how organisms look and function? "Some of the most basic questions drive our research. Yet trying to understand the genetic explanations of such questions is surprisingly difficult considering most vertebrate genomes, including our own, are made up of literally billions of DNA bases that can determine how an organism looks and functions," says Castoe. "Understanding these links between differences in DNA and differences in form and function is central to understanding biology and disease, and investigating these critical links requires massive computing power."The post Supercomputing the Secrets of the Snake Genome at TACC appeared first on insideHPC.
