The practical use and benefits of super computing are applicable to many of today’s industries and businesses. Here are a few links to learn more:
- Our invited speaker Dr. Ahalt answering the questions “How cyberinfrastracture translates into competitive advantages for smaller companies with less financial resources to bring this type of computing power to bear on business problems. …”
- "Who among us hasn’t pondered strange human behaviors? Some people invest in beanie babies. Some wear bell-bottom hip huggers. Some of us live in populous cities located in earthquake or flood zones...The life-cycle model is one of the central paradigms in economics, "
- "High performance computing (HPC) is playing a key role in coming up with an HIV vaccine. Even within a single infected patient the rapidly evolving HIV virus creates an enormous amount of data for potential analysis. This kind of statistical analysis requires randomization testing on an enormous scale, which in turn needs a computationally intensive approach to shorten the timescale between potentially ground-breaking medical observations and the arrival of effective treatments."
- Projects in Scientific Computing is an annual report that highlights research at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. Much of this work bears on questions of broad social impact, such as the development of new therapeutic drugs, understanding heart disease, better knowledge of earthquakes and improved forecasting of severe storms.
- For people that don't consider themselves to be geniuses, there's always...
- "Recently, HPC has come to be applied to business uses of cluster-based supercomputers, such as data warehouses, line-of-business (LOB) applications and transaction processing."
- Working collaboratively with research teams from multiple disciplines, including botany, microbe, animal, and human, researchers at OSC combine advanced computing technologies with research challenges to break barriers to critical insight.
- "...more prevalent today across prominent verticals such as Oil and Gas, Bioinformatics, Finance and Entertainment than ever before ... An HPC cluster can be implemented at a fraction of the cost today as compared to 10-15 years ago."
