Researchers Plan Human-Brain-Scale Simulation on Exascale Supercomputer

Researchers at the Jülich Research Centre in Germany plan to simulate a human-brain-scale neural network by integrating models of brain regions on the JUPITER exascale supercomputer, following earlier work mapping a fruit-fly brain and a recent scalable spiking neural network demonstration; while this could markedly advance computational neuroscience beyond prior efforts like the Human Brain Project, experts caution that such simulations won't 'build brains' and may still only scratch the brain's mysteries.

Frontier Supercomputer Sets New Record in Universe Simulation

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have used the Frontier supercomputer to conduct the largest astrophysical simulation of the universe to date. This groundbreaking simulation, which incorporates both atomic and dark matter, sets a new standard for cosmological hydrodynamics simulations. The project, part of the Exascale Computing Project, utilized the HACC code, significantly upgraded for exascale machines, achieving speeds nearly 300 times faster than previous benchmarks. This advancement allows for unprecedented simulations of the universe's evolution, comparable to large telescope surveys.
