- 11.12.19 – NASA to Showcase Science and Engineering Achievements at Annual Supercomputing Conference
- From surveying life on Earth to exploring the far reaches of space, researchers from across NASA and university and industry partners will highlight their latest findings, made possible by the agency’s supercomputers, at SC19—the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis, Nov. 18 to 22 in Denver, Colorado.
- 08.19.19 – NASA Invites Media to the Grand Opening of Modular Supercomputing Facility
- NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley invites members of the media to engage with NASA researchers and computer experts to learn more about the future of high-performance computing at the agency during the grand opening of its new modular supercomputing facility.
- 04.15.19 - NASA’s TESS Discovers its First Earth-size Planet
- The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered its first Earth-size world 53 light-years away in the southern constellation Reticulum. Helping enable the advance was the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Facility's Pleiades supercomputer, which processes 10 billion pixels of TESS data every 3 to 5 days.
- 01.24.19 - How to Escape a Black Hole: Simulations Provide New Clues to What’s Driving Powerful Plasma Jets
- New simulations led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California, Berkeley researchers combine decades-old theories to provide new insight about the driving mechanisms in plasma jets that allow them to steal energy from black holes’ powerful gravitational fields and propel it far from their gaping mouths. The simulations ran at the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division.
- 01.14.19 - Solar Flares: From Emergence to Eruption
- A team of scientists has, for the first time, used a single, cohesive computer model to simulate the entire life cycle of a solar flare. The model ran on supercomputers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the NASA Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division.
