NASA at SC10
The U.S. space agency joins the international supercomputing community at SC10 in New Orleans, November 13–19, to celebrate the latest breakthroughs in high-performance computing.
Scientists and engineers representing five NASA centers will be on hand at the NASA exhibit to present results for nearly 50 NASA projects in the areas of aviation safety and efficiency, exploration of the universe, design of next-generation space vehicles, and global climate research—all generated using the Agency's supercomputing resources and technologies.
This year, in keeping with SC10’s focus on climate simulation and data-intensive computing, we will also showcase the following demonstrations:
- High-resolution simulations and visualizations of Hurricane Katrina’s track, intensity, and near-eye wind distributions. Resulting insights into global tropical storm formation and development could ultimately save lives and reduce property damage around the globe.
- Data-intensive, high-fidelity aeronautics simulations aimed at reducing aircraft landing-gear noise—one of the largest contributors to noise pollution near metropolitan airports.
- Advanced modeling and simulation that provides key data on next-generation launch vehicle aerodynamics through takeoff, ascent, and stage separation.
- Debris assessment computational tools for accurately predicting and analyzing potential and actual sources of debris that pose risks for remaining Space Shuttle missions during launch and in orbit.
- High-end computing technologies and collaboration tools for enhancing climate research and other Earth science missions.
