The Hard Drive
The Hard Drive - science geeks in Zurich
Today we talk about: what does programming have to do with physics?what does scientific computing try to accomplish? what is "parallel computing"? Does Google run on supercomputers? And: who are we, where are we going, and what really is there, up in the sky? With: Peter Messmer (NVIDIA) and Christine Corbett Moran (Institute of Theoretical Physics, Uni Zurich)."The Hard Drive" explores the everyday life of Zurich scientists, from prize-winning enthusiasts traveling all over the world to frustrated graduate students spending the best years of their life in dark underground labs. Lapo Boschi, himself a geek from the ETH, interviews his colleagues, forcing them to explain what they do in a way that even a normal person can manage to understand.
