Supercomputing Supersonic Shocks!

Enabled by NASA high-performance computing resources, researchers at the Flatiron Institute produced 3D radiation hydrodynamic simulations of supernova shock breakouts. Run on the NAS facility’s Electra supercomputer, the simulations results help scientists interpret future observations of supernovas and will improve our understanding of the observations. See the featured video in the NAS Scientific Visualization Gallery.

NASA Experts Break Ground in Simulations for Urban Air Mobility Safety

Researchers in the NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division have developed new simulations that incorporate ground effect into their studies on the aerodynamic flow around urban air mobility vehicles (UAMs). The ground effect—where the ground surface is added to the computational model—is an important factor in making sure that real-world products are safe and efficient when released by industry manufacturers in the future.

New GPU-Based Supercomputer Speeds Computations for NASA Research Projects

A new GPU-based supercomputer has been added to the stable of NASA high-end computing resources at the NAS facility. Named Cabeus, the system is already providing users with several petaflops of computational power and will increase the agency’s capability to run artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads that can benefit from GPU technology.

Find out more about the Cabeus supercomputer and the NASA project running on the system.
