If #NSF Snoozes, #TACC’s “#Horizon#Supercomputer Loses
#NationalScienceFoundation is front and center on proposed cuts in spending by Trump, those cuts, if they should come to pass, will undercut scientific research and computing tools that make it possible.
NSF is conduit for lots of #research and half of the spending in #US for reasonably large capability-class (strong scaling for large workloads) and capacity-class (weaker scaling for many workloads) #supercomputers.

Miljøorganisationer er i oprør over miljøgener fra de anlæg, som det Musk-ejede #AI -selskab XAI – uden tilladelse – benytter for at skaffe energi nok til ny #supercomputer

I stedet har XAI ifølge miljøorganisationen Southern Environmental Law Center installeret 35 mobile gasdrevne generatorer med en samlet effekt på op til 422 MW

XAI har søgt om tilladelse til at drive 15 gasgeneratorer ved sit supercomputeranlæg, men virksomheden har endnu ikke fået tilladelsen

„The dispute came to a head earlier this month when the #SouthernEnvironmentalLawCenter revealed that #xAI had quietly moved in at least 35 portable #methane gas turbines without air permits to help power its #supercomputer. The group says this many generators have the capacity to #power an entire city and are enormous #emitters of #toxic and #carcinogenic #pollution. The law center made the discovery by taking satellite images of the xAI facility.“

New aerial surveillance footage obtained by the Southern #Environmental Law Center has found that Musk's #artificialIntelligence company, xAI, is using 35 #methane #gas generators to power its "Colossus" #supercomputer facility, the backbone of its flagship #Grok. That's 20 more generators than the 15 #xAI filed permits for, and 35 more than it was approved to use. #dataCenters #ai #musk #climate #law

In #Jülich startet der #Supercomputer Jupiter, Europas erster #Exascale-Rechner mit über einem #ExaFLOP/s, in den Testbetrieb.

Das modular aufgebaute #Rechenzentrum in Containern nutzt rund 24.000 #Nvidia GH200-Chips für Simulationen und #KI-Training.

Ziel ist nicht nur Leistung, sondern auch #Energieeffizienz mit #Wärmerückgewinnung. Ab 2027 ergänzt das KI-Modul #Jarvis das System.

„Wir simulieren Materialien auf Nanometerskala, um Vorhersagen über ihre Eigenschaften treffen zu können und um Prozesse zu verstehen, die im Inneren der Erde stattfinden,“ erklärt Sandro Jahn, der seit September 2024 Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Wechselwirkung von Geomaterialien und Lebewesen an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München ist, im Gespräch mit der LMU.

👩🏼‍💻 #MPIM's 1st #supercomputer, a CDC Cyber-205, was installed in Hamburg's Geomatikum in 1985. 2.5 yrs later, the German Climate Computing Center #DKRZ was established as a service facility for climate research in Germany. Continuous upgrades enabled substantial progress in the development of realistic #climate models. Today, scientists from #MPIM &other institutes are using the Levante supercomputer, which has 70 million times the computing power of the Cyber-205! #MPIM50 #ThrowbackThursday #tbt

Die komplette Wettervorhersage auf einem PC: KI soll Prognosen demokratisieren
