Congratulations to Yarden Livnat, who is part of the team who received the 2017 NERSC Award for Innovative Use of HPC for their project on scaling for a realistic simulation of an infectious disease: Massively Parallel Simulations of Spread of Infectious Diseases over Realistic Social Networks https://www.nersc.gov/news-publications/nersc-news/nersc-center-news/2017/nersc/
Read More“The only certainty…,” it is said, “is that nothing is certain.” And so it goes with computational forecasts of important events such as weather, finance, and climate. Among all of this uncertainty, however, there are patterns, likelihoods, and rarities that inform important decisions that may affect billions of dollars in resources and thousands, or even […]
Read MoreViSOAR is set to drive the visualization for the 2017 Workshop on Molecular Genetics of Hematopoietic Neoplasms, September 7-9, in Chicago, IL. The Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute and the Center for Extreme Data Management, Analysis, and Visualization (CEDMAV), in collaboration with ARUP Laboratories and the University of Utah, Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy, […]
Read MoreWhether it’s coming up with the best design for a Formula 1 race car or understanding the effects of atrial fibrillation on the heart, developing the right simulation model for research sometimes involves equal parts applied math, engineering and computer science. University of Utah School of Computing professor Mike Kirby sees himself as the person […]
Read MoreThe SCI Institute, in partner with the School of Computing, is excited to announce the acquisition of an Nvidia DGX-1 deep learning system. This will be a shared resource that will be made available freely to all campus researchers interested in deep learning, machine learning and related areas. Big data and machine learning are major […]
Read MoreFor many who suffer from debilitating neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease, the constant muscular tremors are an unbearable symptom. Just drinking from a cup can be an overwhelming challenge. When medication doesn’t work, brain surgery to destroy certain cells can be risky, and the results are irreversible. But there has been an emerging third […]
Read MoreResearch with Fluorender highlighted on the NIH Director’s Blog. Posted on July 27, 2017 by Dr. Francis Collins Twice a week, I do an hour of weight training to maintain muscle strength and tone. Millions of Americans do the same, and there’s always a lot of attention paid to those upper arm muscles—the biceps and […]
Read MoreCongratulations to Charles (Chuck) Hansen, who received the 2017 IEEE Visualization Career Award. Dr. Hansen is received the award for his contributions to large scale data visualization, including advances in parallel and volume rendering, novel interaction techniques, and techniques for exploiting hardware; for his leadership in the community as an educator, program chair, and editor; […]
Read MoreThe University of Utah Neuroscience Initiative recently announced Christopher Butson, PhD, Associate Professor in Bioengineering and the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute, was awarded funding for his project, “Differentiating Neural Circuits Modulated During Therapeutic Versus Ineffective Deep Brain Stimulation”.
