PRACE Award Presented to Young Scientist at ISC'08
June 18 -- PRACE, Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe, was awarded a prize for the best scientific paper submitted to ISC'08 by a European student or young scientist on petascaling. The authors of the award winning paper are Stefan Turek, Dominik Göddeke, Christian Becker, Sven H.M. Buijssen and Hilmar Wobker from the Institute of Applied Mathematics, Dortmund University of Technology, Germany.
Their work, UCHPC – UnConventional High Performance Computing for Finite Element Simulations, was selected by the ISC'08 Award Committee, headed by Michael Resch, High Performance Computing Center Stuttgart. Achim Bachem, Chairman of the Board Forschungszentrum Jülich and PRACE coordinator presented the PRACE Award at the ISC'08 opening ceremony in Dresden on Wednesday, June 18. Dominik Göddeke, Ph.D. student in the team of Professor Stefan Turek will receive a sponsorship for the participation in a conference relevant to petascale computing.
Professor Turek and his team conduct research in numerical methods for Partial Differential Equations, with applications in engineering- and life-sciences such as fluid-structure interaction, multiphase fluidics and hemodynamics. To accomplish complex simulations, special hardware-oriented numerical techniques are developed, for instance the use of unconventional hardware like graphics processors known from computer games.
This is the first time the prize is awarded. The PRACE Award will be continued in the years to come to encourage young European scientists to work on innovative solutions for petascale computing.

Computed Tomography Software Taps Into NVIDIA GPUs
Minnesota-based North Star Imaging, a firm that specializes in industrial X-rays for nondestructive testing and analysis, is employing NVIDIA GPUs to accelerate 3D renderings in their CT (computed tomography) software. Julien Noel, the company's CT product manager, says the exceptional computational power afforded by CUDA and Tesla hardware is increasing customer productivity and transforming their workflow.

Video White Paper: Architecting a Better Network Storage Solution
BlueArc's Titan architecture represents an evolutionary step in file servers by creating a hardware-based file system that can scale bandwidth, IOPS, and overall data capacity well beyond conventional software-based devices. With its ability to virtualize a massive storage pool of up to four usable petabytes of tiered storage, Titan can scale with growing data requirements, offering a competitive advantage for businesses, researchers, or other enterprises seeking to better manage data growth while still ensuring optimal performance.
