BrandPost: Why HPC Matters: Understanding Our Universe

Searching for gravitational waves and exploring the physics of black holes and warped space-time is all in a day’s work for teams of researchers in Australia. This is the type of work conducted by the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav). And it’s the type of work that couldn’t be carried out without the extreme computational power of a supercomputer.In OzGrav’s case, the computational power is delivered via a
