It's always exciting when ecological conservation gets a techie boost, and that's exactly what is happening at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). The SDSC has partnered with the US Geological Survey and the San Diego Zoo to track the range of three endangered species in 3D using the center's supercomputers. The team published their results in PLOS One this month.
The computer will eventually be outfitted with 16,000 GPUs.
Hackers attack the supercomputers of the UK, Germany, and Switzerland, and "infections" included cryptocurrency-mining spyware.
This is what supercomputers were built for.
