Using Magnetic Circuits for Energy Efficient Big Data Processing https://insidehpc.com/2020/04/using-magnetic-circuits-for-energy-efficient-big-data-processing/ Thu, 16 Apr 2020 17:37:44 +0000 https://insidehpc.com/?p=83746

Researchers at the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have found a way to make the new generation of smart computers more energy efficient. "Traditionally, silicon chips have formed the building blocks of the infrastructure that powers computers. But this research uses magnetic components instead of silicon and discovers new information about how the physics of the magnetic components can cut energy costs and requirements of training algorithms — neural networks that can think like humans and do things like recognize images and patterns."

Breakthrough Coronavirus Research Results in New Map to Support Vaccine Design https://insidehpc.com/2020/03/breakthrough-coronavirus-research-results-in-new-map-to-support-vaccine-design/ Sun, 01 Mar 2020 16:26:12 +0000 https://insidehpc.com/?p=82933

Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin and the National Institutes of Health have made a critical breakthrough toward developing a vaccine for the 2019 novel coronavirus by creating the first 3D atomic scale map of the part of the virus that attaches to and infects human cells. "Mapping this part, called the spike protein, is an essential step so researchers around the world can develop vaccines and antiviral drugs to combat the virus. The paper was published Feb. 19 in the journal Science."
