Michael Norman's simulations on Ranger reconstruct the Reionization Era
Wednesday, May 14 @ 10:24 EDT
Over the course of the past several decades, cosmologists have used countless observations to devise a biography of the universe, known as the Standard Model. The model proposes that ripples in dark matter, magnified by time and gravity, caused clumps of matter to congeal into a web of intersecting filaments, eventually spawning stars, galaxies, black holes, and structure. But like the cosmos, the Standard Model is full of black holes — missing pieces of the puzzle, whose attraction is undeniable to astronomers.
DOE's Office of Science to Award High Performance Computing Resources
Tuesday, May 13 @ 14:45 EDT
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced today it is accepting proposals for a program to support high-impact scientific advances through the use of some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers at four of DOE’s national laboratories. Through the Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program, DOE’s Office of Science plans to award approximately 680 million supercomputer processor-hours at its laboratories in Berkeley, CA; Chicago, IL; Oak Ridge, TN; and Richland, WA for large-scale, computationally-intensive science projects in 2009.

IBM World Community Grid Supercomputer to Tackle Rice Crisis
Thursday, May 15 @ 15:26 EDT
With 1 Million Global Registered Devices, Largest Humanitarian Grid Can Complete Project in Less Than Two Years Compared to Over 200 years: As concerns of a global hunger crises mount, IBM and researchers at the University of Washington today launched a new program to develop stronger strains of rice that could produce crops with larger and more nutritious yields. With the processing power of 167 teraflops, equivalent to the world's Top 3 supercomputer, IBM's World Community Grid will harness the unused and donated power from nearly one million individual PCs in a new initiative -- "Nutritious Rice for the World" project -- that will study rice at the atomic level and then combine it with traditional cross breeding techniques used by farmers throughout history.

Worldwide Services Spending to Surpass $965 Billion by 2012, IDC Finds
Thursday, May 15 @ 13:16 EDT
IDC forecasts that companies and government agencies will spend more than $746 billion on external services in 2008, representing a growth rate of 6.8% over 2007. Despite – and in some cases because of – a weak U.S. economy, there are many market forces driving enterprises to continue to turn to service vendors for assistance. Additionally, increased customer use of new and often disruptive delivery options (e.g., hosting, SaaS, and utility computing) will encourage service provides, especially outsourcers, to focus their investments in these areas.
