Supercomputer probes depths of biofuel's biggest barrier
2016-02-18 03:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Ask a biofuel researcher to name the single greatest technical barrier to cost-effective ethanol, and you're likely to receive a one-word response: lignin. Cellulosic ethanol--fuel derived from woody plants and waste biomass--has the potential to become an affordable, renewable transportation fuel that rivals gasoline, but lignin, one of the most ubiquitous components of the plant cell wall, gets in the way. In nature, the resilient lignin polymer helps provide the scaffolding for plants, reinforcing...

Nvidia wants its new Drive PX 2 supercomputer to drive your next car
2016-01-05 14:53:28| Extremetech
Deep learning is clearly the hottest technology driving the rapid advances in self-driving cars. Nvidia aims to make it practical, and enable the deployment of commercially-viable fleets of cars that can not just see, but navigate, for themselves.
Chinas Tianhe-2 is still the worlds fastest supercomputer, but Cray is on a resurgence
2015-11-16 18:29:32| Extremetech
It's that time of the year again: TOP500 published its twice-annual list of the 500 fastest supercomputers in the world today, and it looks like China's Tianhe-2 is still on top -- and for the sixth consecutive time).
