The Key to Unlocking HPC's Value?
NewsLarge-scale supercomputing is essential to solving complex questions about our world. But storage platforms essential for these advanced computer systems have been stuck in a rigid framework that required users to either choose between customization of features or high availability. Now, researchers have found a way to give high-performance computing data systems the flexibility to thrive with a framework called BespoKV, perhaps helping to one day achieve the HPC goal of performing at the exascale, or 1 billion billion calculations per second.

Cryptographic Protocol Enables Greater Collaboration in Drug Discovery
News Oct 19, 2018MIT researchers have developed a cryptographic system that could help neural networks identify promising drug candidates in massive pharmacological datasets, while keeping the data private. Secure computation done at such a massive scale could enable broad pooling of sensitive pharmacological data for predictive drug discovery.
Simulated Brain Models Help Understand Language Ability
News Oct 18, 2018The architecture of each person’s brain is unique, and differences may influence how quickly people can complete various cognitive tasks.o learn more, scientists are developing a new tool — computational models of the brain — to simulate how the structure of the brain may impact brain activity and, ultimately, human behavior.
