Supercomputing had its first moment of fame when Deep Blue defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. Today, supercomputers can do far more than checkmating grandmasters. Leading-edge systems are advancing into the regime of exaflop performance — one quintillion calculations in a single second — or a billion times greater than that attainable with a desktop computer.

In the past ten years, this tremendous computational capability has enabled large-scale simulations of real-world systems in all areas of science. Supercomputers are helping scientists discover the origins of the universe, understand climate change, anticipate virus mutations to prevent future pandemics, and decipher the complex operation of the human brain.

 

Extending research into industry applications

Researchers at IBM Research – Zurich have always been at the forefront of both supercomputing technology and deep-computing applications. IBM scientists have pioneered various atomistic simulations in biology, chemistry and materials science. We have developed advanced computer-based models that scale optimally on massively parallel architectures, and applied those models to understand the complex behavior of materials used in IBM’s own computer chips. We are exploring modeling techniques in other fields as well, ranging from the design of novel therapeutics to advanced fluid dynamics for the optimization of aircraft design.

By means of numerous partner and client engagements, scientists at IBM Research – Zurich are extending the role of supercomputing beyond its traditional realm of academic research into fields of commercial applications. Supercomputing is poised to change the world of business in profound ways.
