SPICE Rules!


SPICE has won the HPC Analytics Challenge Award at the Super Computing Conference 2005. The HPC Analytics initiative highlighted rigorous and sophisticated methods of data analysis and visualization using high performance computing.

It Rules!


The HPC Analytics Challenge is an award competition honoring select technical and commercial applications that use leading-edge analytics techniques to solve complex, real-world problems. The growing need to leverage large amounts of underutilized data has led to the use of sophisticated methods for analysis and high-end visualization in conjunction with high performance computing, bandwidth and networking capabilities. The HPC Analytics Challenge is a unique opportunity for researchers, engineers and analysts to showcase innovative techniques of rigorous data analysis (forecasting, data mining, optimization, predictive analysis) and high-end visualization (dynamic modeling, real-time rendering).

Even if you don't get off on Grid Computing at .5gb/s, even if you're not fascinated by supercomputing horsepower on two continents being used to model a strand of DNA being pulled through a cell membrane -- using a full-feedback joystick -- It still Rules!

Rather than copying a lot of academic description, let’s leave it up to the videos the SPICE crew produced for dynamic modeling. The video is available for Quicktime and Windows Media Player -- and low, medium and high-res. It’s your bandwidth decision, folks.
