Zippy supercomputer helps UAH solar scientists answer questions



Talk about a mathematics hot rod – how does 13 quadrillion calculations per second grab you?

A scalable computer code developed at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) that efficiently uses supercomputing power, plus important areas of UAH scientific inquiry, landed scientists at the Department of Space Science and Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research (CSPAR) in the driver's seat for a highly sought chance to run complex equations on a blisteringly fast supercomputer.
