#SC25 is now open! Join us at booth #498 🇨🇭

#SC25 kicked off Sunday with our colleague John Biddiscombe presenting at ExaMPI25. He showcased our paper on integrating lightweight tasks with MPI using the upcoming C++26 std::execution Senders API — a true team effort by many at CSCS. Well done!

#CSCS is contributing in a big way at #SC25 in St. Louis! Our colleague Alberto Madonna is co-chairing the 7th CANOPIE-HPC Workshop and will also take part in sessions on “Containers and New Orchestration Paradigms for HPC” and “Evolving Sarus to Augment Podman for HPC.”

We’ve heard the rumors… 🍫👀
Will there be chocolate at our booth at #SC25 this year? Let’s just say… some traditions are too sweet to let go of...
Join us at the booth #498 — we’ve found a sweet way to keep the tradition alive! #StayTuned #SweetSurprises #hpc

🚀 #CSCS is heading to #SC25 in St. Louis! Come meet our team at Booth #498 (November 17–20) and discover the latest in Swiss supercomputing and HPC innovation: www.cscs.ch/publications... #hpc

Scientists from EPFL & CHUV used supercomputing to map the brain regions behind walking recovery after spinal cord injury. Their work led to the development of a deep-brain stimulation therapy that helped patients walk again in a pilot study. Amazing, right? Read more: www.cscs.ch/science/life...

🗓️ 📢 Deadline Alert: Proposals for the CSCS National Call (allocation period starting 1 April 2026) must be submitted no later than Monday, 27 October 2025, at 17:00 CET! Don't miss out! www.cscs.ch/publications... #callforproposals #alps

🎉 15 Years Since the First Stone of CSCS in Lugano! 🏗️15 years ago, we laid the first stone of #CSCS in Lugano — a bold new chapter after our beginnings in Manno. Since then, we’ve built the future of supercomputing in Switzerland: innovation, sustainability & discovery youtu.be/qExgRHS_7KI?...

#CSCS is pleased to announce that the "GPU Acceleration of HPC Applications with ISO C++ and CUDA C++" course will be held from November 4 to 5, 2025, at CSCS in Lugano, Switzerland. Register now! www.cscs.ch/publications... #course #cuda #gpu #hpc

For the first time, researchers at @ethz.ch have simulated a 42,000-atom silicon nanoribbon transistor with unprecedented accuracy using the Frontier and #Alps supercomputers — the largest of their kind. Their work has earned a Gordon Bell Prize 2025 nomination: bit.ly/3KR9E8c #hpc #wearealps

Powered by Switzerland’s Piz Daint supercomputer at #CSCS, researchers created the largest-ever simulation of the Universe — mapping 3.4 billion virtual galaxies for ESA’s Euclid mission. Discover more: www.cscs.ch/science/phys...

#CSCS ran a massive HPC and Kubernetes infrastructure with just two engineers. With SUSE Rancher Prime + Virtualization
they achieved:
✅ 80% less management time
⚡ 70% faster deployments
🔒 Rock-solid reliability
Lean team - Enterprise-scale impact. Discover more:

YouTube video by cscsch Infrastructure and efficient computing are key for an LLM like Apertus

Training #Apertus—Switzerland’s first open, multilingual LLM—requires massive computing power. The #Alps supercomputer at CSCS enables sovereign AI with GPUs at its core. ETH Zurich’s Ana Klimovic and CSCS’s Joost VandeVondele explain how: youtu.be/GuanQmIzg68?... @ethz.ch @icepfl.bsky.social

#AI models and the data centres behind them use huge amounts of energy. How serious is the problem—and what can we do? We asked ETH Zürich’s Ana Klimovic, who shares why AI often wastes #GPU power and how to boost efficiency: www.cscs.ch/science/comp...

EPFL, ETH Zurich, and CSCS released Apertus, Switzerland's first large-scale, multilingual language model (LLM). As a fully open LLM, it serves as a building block for developers and organizations to create their own applications: www.cscs.ch/science/comp... @ethz.ch #AI #Apertus #AIforGood

For the first time, PSI will use CSCS’s Alps supercomputer for remote computing. This milestone shows how #Alps brings cloud-like flexibility to HPC, letting PSI scale resources on demand. Discover more: www.cscs.ch/science/comp...

Scientists have debated whether Earth’s magnetic field existed when its core was still fully liquid for over a century. Now, a team of geophysicists has used simulations run on #PizDaint supercomputer at #CSCS to show it likely did 🌍 Discover more: www.cscs.ch/science/eart...

At #PASC25, Elisa Molinari shared how community materials science codes boost scientific progress and energy efficiency. In this interview, she explains why energy-aware coding matters—and how ML + predictive simulations are changing the game: www.cscs.ch/science/comp...

#CSCS is delighted to invite you to the “2025 CSCS User Lab Day Meet the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre”, which will take place on Friday, August 29, 2025, at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts – Social Work: www.cscs.ch/publications... #userlab #users #alps

ETH Zurich and EPFL will release a large language model (LLM) developed on public infrastructure. Trained on the #Alps supercomputer at #CSCS, the new LLM marks a milestone in open-source AI and multilingual excellence: www.cscs.ch/science/comp...
