"Towering performance by Sequoia"
A team led by Argonne National Laboratory used the recently developed Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Codes (HACC) framework to achieve nearly 14 petaflops on the 20-petaflop Sequoia, an IBM BlueGene/Q supercomputer, in a record-setting benchmark run with 3.6 trillion simulation particles. HACC provides cosmologists the ability to simulate entire survey-sized volumes of the universe at a high resolution, with the ability to track billions of individual galaxies. | read more>

"At 100 Gbps, ESnet Puts Network Research on Fast Track"
The ESnet's 100 Gbps testbeds allow researchers from government institutions, universities, and industry to experiment with disruptive network technologies without interfering with traffic on a major production network. So far about 20 groups have taken advantage of this testbed, which currently connects two DOE supercomputing facilities: NERSC in California and the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility in Illinois. Additional connections will include the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility and Fermilab, at 50 Gbps. | read more>
