Black holes are often depicted as destructive sci-fi hazards, but they are integral to the formation of galaxies like our own. In 2005, scientists at @CarnegieMellon used the Cray XT3 to reenvision the role of black holes in the evolution of the universe. psc.edu/black-holes-un…

We are proud to announce that a $5 million NSF grant will enable PSC, with partners @HPE, @rigetti, and @PittTweet, to construct TangleLab: a hybrid quantum-classical computer. Read more: psc.edu/psc-will-build…

PSC’s Paola Buitrago bas been named Co-PI on GEM-AI, a project to use AI to identify geologic and biological clues that could indicate the presence of minerals essential for advanced manufacturing in technology, aerospace, energy and defense. Read more: psc.edu/genesis-missio…

Hello from Minneapolis! PSC is at @PEARC_Conf #PEARC26, and our lineup of events is underway. Say hello at Booth 204, or find a PSC-led presentation here: psc.edu/events/pearc-2…

For #PSC40, Chris Csonka sat down with Jim Kasdorf, PSC's first supercomputing expert. Joined by his wife Kate, they talk about computing, people, and music. 🎵 psc.edu/hardware-and-h… #PoweringDiscovery

The 2026 RFP for Anton 3 opens today! The third-generation Anton is the first and only resource available to the research community capable of simulating multiple millions of atoms at speeds of microseconds per day. 🧬Learn more at psc.edu/resources/anto…

Smaller, faster devices have trouble dumping the heat they generate. A team led from @UCLA used PSC’s flagship Bridges-2 to simulate a new metallic material that with nearly three times as much thermal conductivity as copper. psc.edu/new-metallic-m…

📣 We are pleased to announce a $10-million grant from the National Science Foundation to build Bridges-3, PSC's next flagship supercomputer! 📣 Read the press release: psc.edu/10-million-to-…

Our bodies are, famously, 60 percent water — and having the right proportions of water and other molecules in our cells is key. In 2002, scientists from @UofIllinois used PSC's Lemieux to understand this balancing act. 💧psc.edu/revolutionary-… #PSC40 #PoweringDiscovery

To celebrate #PSC40, we're talking to the people who make up PSC—such as Ben Nalevanko, who interned with PSC in the summer of 2024. That feels like it was just yesterday, but somehow it's been 2 years, so we sat down to catch up. ➡️ psc.edu/psc-interns-wh… #PoweringDiscovery

Another Precision Convergence Webinar is coming up this week, 6/18, featuring Andrew Maynard and Jeffrey Abbott. Learn more and register for free: psc.edu/events/mcgill-…

Do not adjust your screen📺 That's not a glitch, it's a mesmerizing moiré pattern. Scientists from @FloridaState are using moiré superlattices to understand how materials act at the smallest scales, paving the way for new materials for electronic devices. psc.edu/weird-rules-fo…

This Sunday, June 7 is the final day for our call for proposals for the Neocortex HPE Superdome Flex! Share your proposal for a collaborative scientific project here: psc.edu/resources/neoc…

In 1995, weather predictions could only warn of dangerous storms about 30 minutes in advance. That year, a team from @UofOklahoma used PSC’s Cray T3D supercomputing system to expand warning times from 30 minutes to 6 hours. psc.edu/warning-time-f… #PSC40 #PoweringDiscovery

"Whether it’s the nature of this field or being a woman in technology, you have to advocate for yourself." Chris Csonka sat down with Robin Scibek as we continue celebrating #PSC40 by celebrating the people who make up PSC. #PoweringDiscovery psc.edu/robin-scibek-c…

In airport traffic, small errors can cause catastrophe. A group from @AirLabCMU used Bridges-2 to create World2Rules, an AI that draws from airport data and historical crash reports to help foresee collision risks on the runway. Read more ✈️ psc.edu/averting-airpo…

🫀 Heart models have come a long way since the 90's—in large part thanks to Charles, David, and Mario. #PSC40 #PoweringDiscovery @nyuniversity psc.edu/first-computer…

Coming up on April 15, the Neocortex Seminar Series continues with Jessica Ezemba, Ph.D. candidate in Mechanical Engineering @CarnegieMellon Join us for "Physics-Aware AI at Scale: Neural Compression and Vision Transformers for Simulation Data." psc.edu/resources/neoc…

A mass casualty incident is a first responder's nightmare. A team from @CMU_Robotics used Bridges-2 to determine how an AI could locate and guide medics to patients. Read more: psc.edu/triage-robots-…

By 1991, the HPC community had been talking about a high-performance parallel interface for years—and then PSC's network engineers made it work, paving the way for modern supercomputing systems. Read on ➡️psc.edu/first-link-bet… #PSC40 #PoweringDiscovery
