Paul Navratil from the Texas Advanced Computing Center stops by to talk about the Stampede system, the largest academically hosted supercomputer in the world. It’s built on Intel® Xeon® processors and Xeon® PhiTM coprocessors and will allow thousands of researchers to conduct projects on weather modeling, tracking the movement of the Earth’s crust, and various engineering models. The podcast was recorded at Fall IDF 2012, so Stampede is now up and running (going live on January 7, 2013).
