Linux magazine HPC Editor Douglas Eadline had a chance recently to discuss the current state of HPC clusters with Beowulf pioneer Don Becker, Founder and Chief Technical Officer, Scyld Software (now Part of Penguin Computing). For those that may have come to the HPC party late, Don was a co-founder of the original Beowulf project, which is the cornerstone for commodity-based high-performance cluster computing. Don’s work in parallel and distributed computing began in 1983 at MIT’s Real Time Systems group. He is known throughout the international community of operating system developers for his contributions to networking software and as the driving force behind beowulf.org.
our panel will be held Sunday, March 9th, if you are in Austin and can spare the mortgage payment it costs to get into the festival. Maggie will be the one speaking coherently, I will be the one trying to distract her by snapping the elastic on her bra.
The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at the University of California, San Diego, has officially launched the Triton Resource, an integrated, data-intensive computing system primarily designed to support UC San Diego and UC researchers. The Triton Resource -- which features some of the most extensive data analysis power available commercially or at any research institution in the country because of its unique large-memory nodes -- also will be available to researchers throughout the larger academic community, as well as private industry and government-funded organizations. Plans for the new system were first announced last fall, as SDSC formally opened a new building and data center that doubled the size of the existing supercomputer center to 160,000 square feet.
Future of the Screen: After the CRT, a Display Deluge By Jon Stokes | 09.02.09 For the seven decades following the debut of television at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, the term "cathode ray tube" (CRT) was virtually synonymous with "display." Shortly after the turn of the millennium, liquid crystal display (LCD) technology began to replace the venerable CRT in desktop-computer applications, and by the middle of the decade LCD was rapidly squeezing the CRT out the television market that the latter had invented. Just two years ago, it seemed obvious that the display space was in the final stages of a relatively straightforward evolutionary shift, with LCD replacing the CRT in the same way that the gas-powered automobile had replaced the horse and buggy.
This sixteen minute podcast features an interview with Patrick Dreher, Director of Advanced Computing Infrastructure and Systems at the Renaissance Computing Institute and Adjunct Professor of Computer Science at North Carolina State University. Along with his presentation at EDUCAUSE 2008, "Making Campus Cyberinfrastructure Work for Your Campus," this conversation is part of Dreher's effort to help campus leaders understand how cyberinfrastucture represents a fundamental shift both at the research level and at the teaching level.
ERCIM News is the magazine of ERCIM. It reports on joint actions of the ERCIM partners, and aims to reflect the contribution made by ERCIM to the European Community in Information Technology. Through short articles and news items, it provides a forum for the exchange of information between the institutes and also with the wider scientific community. ERCIM News is published quarterly. The printed edition of the current number has a circulation of 11,000 copies.
n a new study released this week found that many of the most successful social media initiatives on company intranets start as underground, grassroots efforts led by front-line workers, and which later are officially sanctioned by the enterprise.
