San Diego Supercomputer Center Launches New Diversity Program

June 13, 2022

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego has recently announced the creation of HPC@MSI, a program aimed at facilitating the use of high-performance computing (HPC) by Minority Serving Institutions (MSI).

SDSC Researcher Co-Authors New Wildfire Progression Research

June 7, 2022

Direction and spread of an active wildfire are driven by fuel, topography and prevailing wind conditions. While data on fuel and topography can be mapped before the start of a wildfire, prevailing wind conditions are difficult to chart given their variability and uncertainty.

Pala Native American Youth Receive DataJam Award with Guidance from SDSC

May 26, 2022

Staff from the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego recently worked with middle and high school students from the Pala Native American Youth Council to conduct an informal data science study on the pH levels of the San Luis Rey River that flows through Pala tribal land.

San Diego Supercomputer Center Replaces Lead-Acid Backup Batteries with Green Alternative

April 22, 2022

Urban Electric Power installed rechargeable alkaline battery technology at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, replacing 20,000 pounds of toxic lead-acid batteries with a safer, environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative, and more than doubling the available battery backup electricity.

Researchers Produce First Map of Topographic Change at Statewide Scale

March 15, 2022

Scientists study the topography—the forms and features of the landscape—to measure and observe changes at the Earth’s surface over time. While some changes are the result of natural processes like fluvial erosion and coastal erosion, the topography can also change due to anthropogenic forces...

Southern California Earthquake Center Consortium Welcomes New Core Institution

March 3, 2022

San Diego Supercomputer Center becomes a voting member represented by Computational Scientist Yifeng Cui

Physicists Apply FAIRness to Data Studies

February 15, 2022

For scientists in observational disciplines, data is the lifeblood of research. Collecting, organizing and sharing data both within and across fields drives pivotal discoveries that benefit society and help make it more secure. 

Computational Models Move Researchers Closer to Tuberculosis Vaccine

January 13, 2022

According to a 2021 World Health Organization report, the global COVID-19 pandemic caused an increase in tuberculosis (TB) deaths – 1.5 million in 2020 versus 1.4 million in 2019 – due to a lack of efficient diagnosis and treatment.

San Diego Supercomputer Center’s Expanse Provides a Sneak Peek of the Extended Solar Corona

December 3, 2021

On Saturday, Dec. 4, a total eclipse of the sun will occur at 07:33 (Universal Time) over Antarctica and parts of the South Pacific near the southern tip of Chile. The solar corona – visible to the naked eye only during a total eclipse – will be viewable for just over one minute.

Comet Supercomputer Used to Illustrate Methane Storage Applications

August 27, 2021

Methane storage applications are a key bridging technology to carbon-free chemical fuels. A first-year grad student at UCSD has worked with an international team on a study of zeolite-templated carbon as a gas-storage material. Comet allowed faster completion of their experiments.
