To get the help you need, sometimes you have to break something first. Dirk Colbry admits, a bit sheepishly, that he made his debut in Michigan State University's high performance computing (HPC) center the hard way. As a graduate student investigating 3D face recognition for possible security applications, he'd been stringing together every computer he could get his hands on to get results. But the computational burden was overwhelming his Rube Goldberg cluster.

An international team of researchers used resources from the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) to develop components that would serve as the basis for "Illustris," the most ambitious simulation of galaxy formation ever done. The project is described in a paper published on May 8, 2014, in the journal Nature.

There’s no doubt that advanced computing and cyberinfrastructure are accelerating the pace of discovery and innovation in almost every field of inquiry. For Farnam Jahanian, this point was driven home in a recent meeting with senior members of the US Department of Agriculture. Yes, even farmers are getting in on the data/computation revolution.

Sequencing the DNA of an organism, whether human, plant, or jellyfish, has become a straightforward task, but assembling the information gathered into something coherent remains a massive data challenge. Researchers using computational resources at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, have created a faster and more effective way to assemble genomic information, while increasing performance.

Somewhere in the cosmos an ordinary galaxy spins, seemingly at slumber. Then all of a sudden, WHAM! A flash of light explodes from the galaxy's center. A star orbiting too close to the event horizon of the galaxy's central supermassive black hole is torn apart by the force of gravity, heating up its gas and sending out a beacon to the far reaches of the universe.

A team led by Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI) scientists has found that Alzheimer's disease and cancer share a pathway in gene transcription, a process essential for cell reproduction and growth. They published their findings in December 2013 in the open access journal Scientific Reports by the Nature Publishing Group.

If you were to go back far enough into the Earth’s cosmic ancestry, you might be surprised to find it all started with a supernova explosion. These explosive cosmic events are like laboratories in space, generating elements that enable the creation of life later on; in fact, most of what makes up the Earth, including us humans, evolved from these fundamental elements. This is why simulating the process of a star going supernova is so important—it could potentially be the key to unlocking some of the bigger mysteries of how we came to be in the universe.

The robust growth of wind energy means that big portions of land are being used for large wind farms. While research has shown that turbine power in wind farms is influenced by the upstream wake from other turbines (power can decrease 50% compared to free-standing turbines), little is known about how a large array of wind turbines interacts with the turbulent atmospheric boundary layer at larger scales in the wind turbine array boundary layer (WTABL).

In a study reported on in 2012 involving monkeys looking at objects, researchers discovered that in-sync large-scale brain waves affecting various regions of the brain hold memories of objects just viewed. So, why is that important?

The 2013 winners for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Martin Karplus, Michael Levitt and Arieh Warshel, have been advancing science for years, but wide-spread acceptance has not come in a vacuum. This acceptance has come along with the rise of high-performance computing (HPC) in chemistry–something XSEDE specializes in–a move that Sven Lidin, Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry, likens to doing chemistry outside of a traditional laboratory.
