As Chapter 6 points out, the manufacturing sector is a significant part of our overall GDP, but it also is instrumental in creating high quality, high pay jobs in our economy and in supporting our national infrastructure and national defense. But one point about manufacturing is often not well understood and that's that the manufacturing sector itself plays a critical role in our nation's capacity to innovate. Almost two-thirds of our research and development capacity in the business sector is based in manufacturing-based industries. Manufacturing also plays a critical role in trade. Most of our tradable economy is based in the manufacturing sector.]]> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:07:55 GMT http://www.supercomputingonline.com/video/viewvideo/394/patrick-gallagher-director-nist-discusses-how-to-out-produce-revitalizing-manufacturing  David Foster of CERN tells us why it selected Brocade MLXe Core Routers as part of a network infrastructure upgrade to support its high throughput computing (HTC) requirements and a data environment that exceeds 15 petabytes (15 million gigabytes) per year]]> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:10:05 GMT http://www.supercomputingonline.com/video/viewvideo/393/cern-selects-brocade-to-bolster-network-performance-and-support-its-growth-plans  At Supercomputing 2011 in Seattle Brocade continued a long-standing and successful tradition of engaging with the international community in high performance computing, networking and storage. Brocade's participation at this show promotes education through innovations created here and now in high performance computing. Brocade collaborated with research network innovators from Indiana University and Internet2 to demonstrate 100 Gigabit Ethernet transport over a wide area network spanning from Indianapolis to Chicago to Seattle. This marks one of the first live demonstrations of this magnitude and opens up the world to a wealth of life changing innovation. At the heart of this advanced network is the Brocade MLXe router, it's designed to establish the industry benchmarks for performance, scalability and investment protection for performance driven organizations. When installed in the Brocade MLXe routers, the new 100 GbE blades enable high performance computing networks to deploy the industry's first Terabit-per-second trunk, which utilizes multiple ports in a single logical link for greater bandwidth and reduced management. To put this in perspective, this technology can support the streaming of a half-million high-definition video streams over a single managed connection -- serving the equivalent of all San Jose, Calif. households -- and delivers more than twice the operational efficiency of competitive offerings.]]> Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:08:21 GMT http://www.supercomputingonline.com/video/viewvideo/392/importance-of-100-gbe-live-demo-over-a-wan  Stanford scientists are using complex computational models to solve the puzzle of the devastating tsunami that stuck Japan earlier this year and predict where future tsunamis might occur.]]> Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:45:53 GMT http://www.supercomputingonline.com/video/viewvideo/391/supercomputer-models-help-predict-tsunami-risk  Unknown]]> Thu, 08 Dec 2011 15:06:51 GMT http://www.supercomputingonline.com/video/viewvideo/390/atoms-dressed-with-light-show-new-interactions-could-reveal-way-to-observe-enigmatic-particle  Nanoelectronic devices are an integral part of our life, including the billion-plus transistors in every laptop.

Understanding how folding goes awry could lead to cures for diseases caused by protein misfolding, like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Stanford chemistry Professor Vijay Pande's project Folding@home borrows computing time from home computers to simulate how proteins fold. By modeling protein folding, Pande says, "We hope to get exquisite detail and information that you might not be able to get from experiments."]]> Thu, 24 Nov 2011 12:48:13 GMT http://www.supercomputingonline.com/video/viewvideo/385/simulating-how-proteins-self-assemble-or-fold  SmarterCities Rio | IBM helps Rio become a Smarter City]]> Tue, 15 Nov 2011 17:21:28 GMT http://www.supercomputingonline.com/video/viewvideo/384/smartercities-rio-ibm-helps-rio-become-a-smarter-city  Systems engineers at Georgia Tech offered Georgia Aquarium leaders accurate predictions on how the new AT&T Dolphin Tales exhibit would impact guest flow within the aquarium and how to optimize the operations logistics, efficiency and show schedules for the new exhibit.]]> Mon, 14 Nov 2011 11:01:27 GMT http://www.supercomputingonline.com/video/viewvideo/383/georgia-aquarium-at-t-dolphin-tales-operations-research-georgia-tech  Christian Illmer and Stephan Rettenberger discuss network encryption and provide a step-by-step guide as to how you can protect your mission-critical data]]> Thu, 10 Nov 2011 07:40:51 GMT http://www.supercomputingonline.com/video/viewvideo/382/network-encryption-what-you-need-to-know  In three years, NASA's Fermi has detected more than 100 gamma-ray pulsars, but something new has appeared.

The sun is yellow at left; Earth is green at right. Banana-shaped regions of contrasting colors show three successive coronal mass ejections -- bursts of particles and magnetic field from the sun -- that headed toward Earth in early August 2011. Coronal mass ejections can trigger geomagnetic storms on Earth, which can impede operation of electrical grids and temporarily hamper radio and satellite telecommunications. Grid and satellite operators and airlines can take protective measures when stormy conditions are forecast.
