IBM GPFS SCORES TOP MARKS IN BANDWIDTH CHALLENGE AT SC2003

INTERVIEW WITH LARRY SMARR, Cal-(IT)2

CERN LAUNCHES FIRST PHASE OF GRID FOR LARGE HADRON COLLIDER

Special Features

EPSRC ACHIEVES WORLD FIRST IN GRID HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING: This is the first demonstration of the use of the "Grid" to simultaneously link the high performance computers with remote visualisation centers in the United Kingdom and the United States.
IBM GPFS SCORES TOP MARKS IN BANDWIDTH CHALLENGE AT SC2003: IBM and the San Diego Supercomputing Center (SDSC) won this year using GPFS in a large-scale Grid environment spanning several sites and long distances.
BigBangwidth BOOSTS OptIPuter: Researchers building a new type of Grid computing environment known as the OptIPuter have agreed to deploy BigBangwidth's next-generation lightpath technology.
SCS, UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE TO COLLABORATE ON GRID RESEARCH: Singapore Computer Systems will collaborate with the GRIDS laboratory on Gridbus technology and provide resources and engineers to further develop Gridbus into production quality software which SCS can then deploy in its various Grid computing projects.
INTERVIEW WITH LARRY SMARR, Cal-(IT)2 By Tim Curns, Assistant Editor, HPCwire: HPCwire Assistant Editor Tim Curns' interview with Larry Smarr of Cal-(IT)2 concerning his impressions of SC2003 and the future of supercomputing.

Systems/Enterprise

NTT COMWARE JOINS OSDL: The Open Source Development Labs (OSDL), a global consortium of leading technology companies dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Linux, announced that NTT COMWARE, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTT and one of the largest systems integrators in Japan, has joined the lab as its newest member.
PHOENIX REDEFINES DEVICE MANAGEMENT LANDSCAPE: Phoenix d-NA will significantly expand the capabilities previously provided by legacy system BIOS while enabling PC OEMs, ODMs and system builders to offer highly differentiated solutions in an increasingly price-competitive marketplace.
IDS SCHEER, WebV2 TO OFFER DIST. BUSINESS PROCESS SOLUTIONS: Distributed business process management (BPM) offers a new approach and allows organizations to link highly autonomous nodes, such as mobile users or partners, to a seamless process chain. This approach is ideal for manufacturing and supply chain related industries.

Applications

CERN LAUNCHES FIRST PHASE OF GRID FOR LARGE HADRON COLLIDER: Cern's Grid, which links computing resources in different countries, is designed to handle the huge amounts of data generated by the laboratory's Large Hadron Collider.
GENOME DATA ANALYSIS MADE EASY THROUGH GRIDS: They are establishing the Sun-GIS Centre of Excellence in Digital Biology, to allow researchers here to tap into Grid computing to solve complex problems as well as share information with other research institutes.
OPAL-RT UNVEILS RT-LAB UAV ENGINEERING SIMULATOR: Specifically designed for use by UAV researchers, the RT-LAB UAV Engineering Simulator provides the most effective way to implement a model-based approach to design and testing of multiple unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications, minimizing the time between UAV concept and operation evaluation.
