IBM AND TurboGenomics TEAM TO SUPERCHARGE COMPUTING GRIDS
LIFE SCIENCES DRIVE CHANGE IN HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
INTERNET PART 2: THE DAWN OF SUPERCOMPUTING
Special Features
- INTERNET PART 2: THE DAWN OF SUPERCOMPUTING
By William Fellows
- There is a theory going around: wouldn't it be a good idea if computing resources could be shared, just as content is shared, on the Web? This is the concept of grid computing, sometimes referred to as Internet 2.
- LIFE SCIENCES DRIVE CHANGE IN HIGH-PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
By Skip Derra
- If you look at all of the computer requirements for the drug discovery process, it is quite amazing. It is everything from informatics, to chemistry models, to data mining, to numerically intensive computing.
- 8 UNIVERSITIES DEPLOY AND EVALUATE EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
- The integration testbed includes the University of Alabama, the University of Florida, Florida State University, Georgia State University, the University of Michigan, the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Virginia. Managed by Southeastern Universities Research Association (SURA), the testbed sites will use and evaluate software, services and architectures.
- IONA CTO TOUTS WEB SERVICES 'STANDARDIZATION DREAM'
- And while more established distributed computing middleware, such as CORBA, features more robust, reliable technology, Web services will ultimately prevail as the dominant system-to-system integration mechanism because it is based on the Internet and standards and affords a higher level of abstraction to developers through XML versus a language like C and the use of IDLs.
Systems/Enterprise
- TEJA TECHNOLOGIES EXPANDS SOFTWARE APPLICATION BLOCKS
- Networking OEMs are increasingly designing new products with Intel network processors because of their time-to-market and flexibility benefits. To maximize those benefits, developers are seeking to leverage as much pre-written code as possible.
- SUCCESS OF JAPAN'S EARTH SIMULATOR TO SPUR BIG CHANGES
By Scott Nance
- Five years in the making, Japan's Marine Science and Technology Center on March 1 switched on its new, $400-million supercomputer. The massive machine, located in a specially built building in Yokohama, is called the Earth Simulator because its primary purpose is to run advanced simulations on climate, atmospheric, and other Earth sciences.
- Data Junction & Metis DELIVER ENTERPRISE INTEGRATION
- By delivering the ability to interface with other applications and formats, Data Junction enables Metis Technologies to solve the data-intensive problems typically encountered in client engagements involving disparate information and systems.
- SUCCESSFUL DEPLOYMENT OF INTERNET PROTOCOL -- IPV6
- Juniper Networks Inc and the U.S. DOE Sciences Network (ESnet) announced that ESnet has deployed one of the industry's first large-scale production networks to run both IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6) simultaneously, connecting hundreds of thousands of scientific researchers around the world.
- Software AG ADDS SOAP GATEWAY TO REDUCE COMPLEXITY
- At the XML Web Services One Conference 2002, Software AG Inc, a pioneer in XML solutions, announced that its newly released EntireX XML Mediator version 7.1.1.3 includes a SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) Gateway to reduce the complexity of managing Web Services.
Scientific Applications
- CLUSTER ONE OF THE LARGEST HOUSED AT U.S INSTITUTION
- A cluster is a group of network servers connected together to act as a single, high-powered computer. High-performance computing clusters of the type installed at the Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics perform millions of complex calculations per second, accomplishing work that was previously reserved for multi-million dollar mainframe computers.
- IBM AND TurboGenomics TEAM TO SUPERCHARGE COMPUTING GRIDS
- Through the agreement, TurboGenomics' bioinformatics tools will become key components of the IBM Life Sciences Framework, an open, scalable architecture developed to make disparate data and applications interoperable at each stage of drug discovery and development.
- @Verifier-DP FIRST TO SUPPORT PLATFORM COMPUTING
- The integration of Platform LSF within the @Verifier functional verification product family provides designers working on multimillion gate System-on-Chip (SoC) designs significant performance benefits.
- SGI TO DELIVER SUPERCOMPUTER VISUALIZATION FOR MOBILE DEVICES
- Silicon Graphics Inc has announced new advances that will soon enable technical and creative professionals to access supercomputer visuals from almost any mobile or consumer device over standard computer networks.
- NSC ACQUIRES 200 NODE CLUSTER WITH SCALI ClusterEdge
- The 200 nodes with dual 2.2 GHz Intel Xeon CPUs and 2 GByte memory combined with the hardware and software infrastructure in ClusterEdge takes the solution to the forefront of supercomputing performance where it will by far be Scandinavia's most powerful computer with an estimated LinPack performance around 800 GFlops.
- SISTINA'S SOFTWARE TO ENABLE LINUX CLUSTERING
- Sistina's cluster file system technology is included in the SUNY Buffalo cluster, which combines a large number of individual, standards-based servers to function as a single, powerful system.
