San Diego Supercomputer Center

The UC Regents have approved the UC San Diego School of Computing, Information, and Data Sciences (SCIDS) at UC San Diego. The new school combines the strengths of the San Diego Supercomputer Center, a national leader in high-performance and data-intensive computing, and the Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute, UC San Diego, a pioneering interdisciplinary institute that advances data science and AI education and research. Together, these resources form the foundational pillars of SCIDS and will position UC San Diego to support the growing demand for data science and computing expertise across the research and educational mission of the university. 🔗 to learn more: https://ow.ly/riiP50SGqOS

How do you build a high-performance computer on a shoestring budget? Students from UC San Diego, Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin, The University of Kansas, and Denmark's Aalborg Universitet came together in June to tackle the challenge: creating a high-performance cluster from single-socket computers while meeting strict power and budget constraints. The Aalborg University team won the overall competition, followed by the University of Kansas, with third place going to SDSC. 📸 UC San Diego SCC Team #ICYMI #computercluster #highperformancecomputer

Cosmos' unique chip architecture will broaden access to accelerated computing, which will aid discoveries in AI, astrophysics, genomics, large language models, materials science and many other domains. The project is structured as a three-year testbed phase, followed by a two-year allocations phase. During the testbed phase Cosmos project staff will collaborate with research teams covering several model science and engineering applications including those from astronomy and neuroscience, molecular biology and machine learning, and more. During the testbed phase, Cosmos project staff will also work with the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource (NAIRR) Pilot program to identify and support projects that are good fits for the architecture and capabilities of the machine.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at SDSC! In observance of Independence Day, the SDSC business offices will be closed today. SDSC’s computational resources and support remain open and operational, 24/7.

Today is International Plastic Bag Free Day. Plastic products are challenging to dispose of responsibly, posing serious threats to ecosystems and human health. A team at Northwestern University's McCormick School of Engineering, led by Linda Broadbelt, is using supercomputers to tackle the plastic waste problem. Ready to learn more? Head to sdsc.edu to see how supercomputers are being used to tackle big challenges. #PlasticBagFreeDay #SustainabilityCelebration #PlasticWaste #EnvironmentalEngineering #SustainableSolutions #PlasticPollution #EcoInnovation #GreenTechnology #SustainableEngineering #SustainabilityResearch
