Resetting the Biological Clock with Flip of the Molecular Switch

February 25, 2020

Scientists work to understand circadian rhythms at the molecular level to help develop innovative therapies for fixing biological clock dysfunctions caused by inherited conditions, modern habits, shift working or aging.

Second GPU Cloudburst Experiment Yields New Findings

February 12, 2020

SDSC and WIPAC researchers have conducted a second NSF-funded experiment that proves it is possible to elastically burst to very large scales of GPUs using the cloud.

Protein Data Bank Archive Adds New Coronavirus Protease Structure

February 7, 2020

The Protein Data Bank archive has released a new Coronavirus protease structure following the recent coronavirus outbreak, an ongoing viral epidemic primarily affecting mainland China that now threatens to spread to other parts of the world.

SDSC Supercomputer Models Improve Oregon/Washington Coastal Forecasts

February 3, 2020

Researchers at Oregon State University have been using the Comet supercomputer at SDSC to test an algorithm they believe will reduce errors in the widely used three-day forecasts for water temperature, salinity levels, sea heights, and currents off the Oregon and Washington coasts.

Supercomputer Simulations Reveal Details of Galaxy Clusters

January 24, 2020

A new study published late last year in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society used supercomputer simulations to explore molecular gas within and surrounding the intracluster medium, or the space between galaxies in a galaxy cluster.

International Research Team Confirms Potential Glioblastoma Inhibitors

January 21, 2020

A research team from SDSC and institutes in Sweden and France have published a study on the OLIG2 inhibitor as a way to improve prognoses for brain cancer patients.

American Association for Thoracic Surgery Adopts HUBzero® Cloud Platform

January 15, 2020

The American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) has adopted an open-source, cloud-based platform led out of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) that addresses widely recognized challenges with historical platforms throughout the cardiothoracic surgical community.

Supercomputer Simulations Showcase Novel Planet Formation Models

January 10, 2020

Scientists at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) used SDSC’s Comet supercomputer to help model the formation of terrestrial planets such as Mercury, Venus, and Mars in a quest to explore if there are Earth-like planets outside our solar system.

SDSC Supercomputer Simulations Aid in Solving Boron Carbide Mystery

December 17, 2019

Building upon decades of research on how to make boron carbide even more efficient, an engineering team at the University of Florida (UF) has been conducting simulations using SDSC's Comet supercomputer to better understand the nanoscale level of this important material.

SDSC’s Comet Supercomputer Helps Researchers Predict Carbon Dioxide Levels

December 5, 2019

The amount of carbon in the Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems is likely to decline by about 10 percent through the year 2100, according to USGS researchers who used SDSC's 'Comet' supercomputer to conduct simulations.
