Computational Science

Greg Hidley of Cal-IT2 presents an overview and some background on the Optiportal.

Question and answer session with Tom Defanti and other Cal-IT2 Optiportal personnel.

This game was created using Alice at an Alice Workshop hosted by the San Diego Supercomputer Center. For more information about student workshops visit http://education.sdsc.edu/studenttech/ .

The terminal view on the left shows a 'tail' of the AMBER code output for a simulation of Myoglobin, a protein found in muscle fibers. In this video, the output is being run on a single Intel E5462 2.80 GHz CPU. The terminal view on the right shows the same AMBER code output, but run on a single NVIDIA C1060 GPU. The GPU run is about 40 times faster than the CPU run. Courtesy of Ross Walker, San Diego Supercomputer Center, UC San Diego.

This simulation shows a protein folding simulation of TRPCage (an artificially designed protein) running in implicit solvent. The simulation shows a single Intel E5462 2.80GHz CPU versus an NVIDIA C1060 GPU. Courtesy of Ross Walker, San Diego Supercomputer Center, UC San Diego.

This simulation uses a flux-limited diffusion solver to explore the radiation hydrodynamics of early galaxies, in particular, the ionizing radiation created by Population III stars. At the time of this rendering, the simulation has evolved to a redshift of 3.5. The simulation volume is 11.2 comoving megaparsecs, and has a uniform grid of 1024^3 cells, with over 1 billion dark matter and star particles. The simulation was computed on resources of the National Institute for Computational...

With the press of a large 'I/O' button and strobe lights simulating a "powering up" sequence, officials of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and University of California, San Diego ushered in the next era of data-intensive computing by dedicating a new, energy-efficient building extension as a key resource for UC San Diego and beyond.
