We’re Not Alone – but the Universe May be Less Crowded than We Think

July 1, 2015

There may be far fewer galaxies further out in the Universe then might be expected, suggests a new study based on simulations conducted using the Blue Waters supercomputer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, with resulting data transferred to SDSC Cloud at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego, for future analysis.

Common Antibiotic May Be the Answer to Many Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Infections

June 10, 2015

Researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences report that the common antibiotic azithromycin kills many multidrug-resistant bacteria very effectively — when tested under conditions that closely resemble the human body and its natural antimicrobial factors. The researchers believe the finding, published June 10 by EBioMedicine, could prompt an immediate review of the current standard of care for patients with certain so-called “superbug” infections.

SDSC, UCSD School of Medicine Launch Mentor Assistance Program

May 28, 2015

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with the UC San Diego School of Medicine, has launched a new mentoring program designed to provide a pathway for high school student researchers to gain access to experts in their field of interest.

SDSC, UCSD Focus on Sustainable Computer Science Courses

May 27, 2015

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, has been awarded a three-year National Science Foundation (NSF) grant valued at almost $1 million to help three of the region’s school districts develop model “villages” for introducing and sustaining up-to-date computer science courses in their curriculum.

University of Arkansas Acquires SDSC’s Trestles Supercomputer

May 5, 2015

The National Science Foundation and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, have agreed to transfer ownership of its Trestles supercomputer cluster to the Arkansas High Performance Computing Center.

SDSC’s ‘Comet’ Supercomputer Enters Early Operations Phase

April 30, 2015

Comet, a new petascale supercomputer designed to transform advanced scientific computing by expanding access and capacity among traditional as well as non-traditional research domains, has transitioned into an early operations phase at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego.

SDSC Helps Professionals ‘Connect the Dots’ in Graph Analytics

April 2, 2015

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) will begin addressing a rapidly emerging area of interest in data science by holding its first Graph Analytics “boot camp” on Thursday, April 23rd, at its location on the UC San Diego campus in La Jolla, California.

SDSC Researchers Win NVIDIA’s 2015 Global Impact Award

March 17, 2015

Researchers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, are the recipient of NVIDIA’s 2015 Global Impact Award for their collaborative work in developing an accelerated GPU (graphics processing unit) code to simulate earthquake physics necessary for safer building design.

Researchers Rethink How Our Feathered Friends Evolved

March 16, 2015

A recently published global genome study that used the data-intensive Gordon supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer at the University of California, San Diego, has researchers rethinking how avian lineages diverged after the extinction of the dinosaurs.

SDSC’s CAIDA Group to Explore the Internet’s “Uncharted Territory”

March 9, 2015

The Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA) at the San Diego Supercomputer Center has been awarded $1.2 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to measure and quantify the changing nature of the Internet’s topology and what it means for the Internet’s future in terms of design, operations, scientific study, and public policy.
