Austrian Scientific Computing (ASC)

CUDA 4 Dummies - join our online course to learn how to extend C/C++/Fortran code to run thousands of #GPU cores in parallel and accelerate scientific computing. No prior CUDA knowledge is required. 27-28 October 2026 events.asc.ac.at/e/CUDA-2026-10 #programming #supercomputing #CUDA

A new preprint by ASC users looks at how much compute it takes to generate one billion particle-collision events for the #LargeHadronCollider. The team combines #GPU-based calculations with normalizing flows, cutting generation time from 47 days to 14 hours on 4 H100 GPUs of MUSICA.

🚀 Turns out cold molecules are rocket science after all! In our new preprint we use PICLas, a software developed by our friends at University of Stuttgart for applications in aerospace engineering, to explore the complex dynamics inside cryogenic buffer-gas sources for molecules. lnkd.in/dxUXqMsh

Learn to develop 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘁, 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, and 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 C++ code 👉 next online course on Modern C++ Software Design (intermediate) is on 12-15 October 2026 More details here: events.asc.ac.at/e/CppI-2026-10 Registration deadline: 5 October #programming #cpluplus #softwaredesign

As a national HPC center it‘s so much more than just the infrastructure that we provide. We run an extensive training program, engage in international projects, and last but not least help to raise awareness…
