A machine that once ranked among the fastest on Earth has been decommissioned. Its shutdown reveals how quickly cutting-edge ...

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

With a new league format, big names in charge, and intense competition, the 2025–26 UEFA Europa League is wide open. Based on 10,000 tournament simulations, Opta's supercomputer has revealed each team ...

To get Colossus up and running fast, xAI built its own power plant, setting up as many as 35 natural-gas ...

International Business Machines releases a blueprint for the integration of quantum computers into traditional data centers.

Located at CeSViMa in Madrid, the Magerit high-performance computing system allows scientists to run complex simulations across aerospace and environmental research.

New high-resolution simulations reveal that stellar rotation plays a crucial role in transporting material inside red giant stars.

To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...

At the center of this effort is the Expanse system at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), part of UC San Diego’s School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences. Supported by U.S. National ...

New research suggests that sun-like stars maintain a consistent rotation pattern throughout their lives, contrary to 50 years ...

Large protein machines in the body carry out many of the cell's most essential tasks, from energy production to the ...

It was the government that decided it was time for Sierra to die. Sierra, it must be said, was a supercomputer, and so had never really been alive in the first place. But by any objective measure, she ...
