Symposium on Multicore and New Processing Technologies On August 13-14, 2007 ARSC hosted a Symposium on Multicore and New Processing Technologies. This event brought together experts from academic and HPCMP communities to focus on new and next-generation technologies. The main goal of the symposium was to review and assess these technologies and their promise for high performance computing (HPC) work.
Near-Future Ice Modeling Fronts that move through the ocean affect water conditions and marine life as intensely as weather fronts affect atmospheric conditions above the water.
Modeling the Arctic Ice Developing the next generation of high-resolution, coupled air/ocean/ice prediction system of the Arctic Ocean and sea ice.
Alaska Research Summer Challenge Each summer ARSC and UAF host several summer interns in an effort to support student involvement in computational and computer science.
Body Language User Interface ARSC visualization specialist Bill Brody, and computer scientists Chris Hartman and Glenn Chappell, team together to build a three-dimensional virtual reality drawing program.
Designing New Materials The discovery, design and development of new materials are of high priority interest for use in propulsion systems and vehicles of the U.S. Air Force space program.
Galaxies--Building Blocks of the Universe Understanding how galaxies form, in the context of the currently favored cosmological scenarios, and how galactic star formation affects the evolution of baryons in the universe, is a fundamental challenge for modern astrophysics.
Ionospheric Modeling The better scientists understand space weather, the more they discover how profoundly it affects our everyday lives.
HPC Newsletter ARSC vector specialist Tom Baring, and research liaison/mpp specialist Guy Robinson, publish a biweekly newsletter to discuss programming models and technigues, development tools, applications, and other issues of importance to users of HPC systems.
Northern Sea Ice Extremes Examining atmospheric responses to sea ice conditions over northern and mid-latitudes during the summer months.
Submarine Modeling Modeling a maneuvering submarine in the diverse, unstable environments of coastal regions.
