Interactive Remote Path-Tracing Using the HPC Cluster at HLRS
What is the MSC and who's behind it?
It’s the idea to use the possibilities of HPC(= High Performance Computing)
also for the media industry.
In order to allow the MSC BW a good start, there is a merger of four project partners: the HLRS, the HdM, the Filmakademie BW and the ZKM in Karlsruhe.
The MSC BW is to be the interface between technically and scientifically oriented research facilities and creative media companies.

2. TechTalks Stuttgart: Machine Learning and Water Simulations
TechTalks Stuttgart – Kein One-Hit-Wonder Auch die zweiten TechTalks Stuttgart am 11.10.2017 waren ein voller Erfolg. Interessante Vorträge am Zahn der Zeit, begeisterte Zuhörer, mit kompetenten Rückfragen, sowie intensive Gespräche beim gemeinsamen Get-Together prägten den Abend im Theater Rampe, das als Veranstaltungsort zusätzliche Inspiration beisteuerte. Forschung trifft auf Produktion, die…
Twisted Soft Photon Hair Implants on Black Holes
The MSC-BW is proud to inform, that one of its associates, Dr. Fabrizio Tamburini from the Center for Art and Media (ZKM, www.zkm.de), has been published in Entropy. Tamburini and his colleagues wrote an article about black holes and their event horizon area. The article was accepted and published by…
Interactive Remote Path-Tracing Using the HPC Cluster at HLRS
Using the HPC-Cluster like a traditional render farm is straightforward. Each frame is rendered on a single compute node and the result is stored somewhere on disk. However, this application does not really play to the strength of the HPC cluster, which is the high-throughput and low-latency interconnect between nodes.…
Dark Matter Effects instead of extraterrestrial civilizations?
The MSC-BW is proud to inform, that one of its associates, Dr. Fabrizio Tamburini from the Center for Art and Media (ZKM, www.zkm.de), has been published by Physica Scripta. Tamburini and his colleague Ignazio Licata wrote an article about their theory, that the periodic spectral modulations observed in 236 Sloan…
On the Heels of an HPC Innovation Excellence Award, “Maya the Bee” Keeps Flying
HLRS’ successful collaboration with M.A.R.K. 13 studio continues with “Maya the Bee 2: The Honey Games.” At this year’s ISC conference, Hyperion Research presented its annual High-Performance Computing (HPC) Innovation Excellence Award. The award highlights small- and medium-sized businesses’ successful use of HPC. M.A.R.K. 13 and Studio 100 Media took…
Palander – a Blender add-on to run fluid simulations on a supercomputer
There are two computationally intensive tasks commonly used in artistic content creation: simulations and rendering. Oftentimes, these can form severe bottlenecks that may jeopardize the deadlines of film productions; as such, they are both excellent candidates for High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications for the MSC-BW project. This article presents Palander, a…
