HPCwire Announces 2006 "People to Watch"

HPCwire has announced the release of their annual "People to Watch" list, recognizing some of the most influential and interesting luminaries driving the changing landscape of high performance computing. The members of this group, who are determined by a selection committee that includes past People to Watch as well as a long list of advisors for the publication, features educators, researchers, and industry veterans who are making significant contributions to the cause of high performance computing.

"It's a tremendous honor to be able to take time each year to recognize and highlight the people who are moving the dynamic field of high performance computing forward," said Tom Tabor, founder of Tabor Communications, publisher of HPCwire and GRIDtoday. "I feel passionate about the importance of honoring the work and achievements that these dedicated thought leaders are accomplishing as they move this important industry forward. Ultimately, it's not only technology that is being advanced by their efforts, but through that technology they are moving humanity forward. We believe in this industry and the power it has to profoundly affect our lives and our futures, and applaud the efforts of those selected as the 2006 People to Watch in HPC."

NASA Looks to Move Science Apps Into the Cloud

It seems only natural that the US space agency would be casting its eyes toward the clouds. Sure enough, NASA is now looking to cloud computing to optimize the operation of the agency's IT infrastructure for some of its science codes. Like many commercial businesses and government organizations, NASA is being asked to do more computing with fewer datacenter resources.

Thoughts, Observations, Beliefs & Opinions About the NSF Supercomputer Centers

There is no such thing as an NSF (Supercomputer) Center and there never has been. There should be. What there are, in the words of Ed Hayes, then comptroller of NSF, are "NSF ASSISTED Supercomputer Centers." This is a double edged sword.

Appro Assists LLNL with Cluster Designed for Extreme Scale Visualization

Jan 11 | | LLNL is home to some of the fastest computers in the world. In 2012, LLNL expects to have the Sequoia supercomputing cluster operational with a projected performance of over 20 PFLOP/s. These systems will focus on strengthening the foundations of predictive simulation through running large suites of complex simulations and then comparing model predictions with experimental data. To visualize this project’s large amount of data, LLNL requested an Appro Supercomputing Cluster specifically designed to support interactive data analysis.
