Cray: Fighting a Crop-Killer With Supercomputing

One doesn't necessarily think of supercomputing in a field of green or in ocean waves, but a new series of online videos from Cray with agency partner DNA connects the capabilities of supercomputers to the real-life ways in which computational science and discovery is changing the world for good. One instance was how Cray supported scientists in their quest to address the hunger crises: Cray's supercomputers were put to work by Dr. Laura Boykin in the Pawsey Lab in Australia to understand the precise genome of the white fly decimating the Cassava plant in East Africa – a food source for over 800 million people worldwide.
