Scientific Computing World appeared just as the World Wide Web was escaping from particle physics. Michael Kenward reflects on a decade of rapid progress
Grid computing won't happen without glue to hold it together, as Michael Kenward finds when investigating middleware
People differ in many ways, which is why biometrics is a booming business and why Michael Kenward found a wealth of related websites
Complex systems are a growing area of research, and finding good sites can be complicated, says Michael Kenward
The Internet is itself a suitable case for research, as Michael Kenward found when surfing sites on the Web given over to research on the Web into the Web
As not only the HPC industry but the larger computing ecosystem tries to overcome the slowdown and eventual end of transistor scaling described by Moore’s Law, scientists and researchers are implementing programmes that will define the technologies and new materials needed to supplement, or repla
Architectural specialisation is one option to continue to improve performance beyond the limits imposed by the slow down in Moore’s Law.
As the complexity of both HPC hardware and the challenges that scientists are trying to solve using HPC systems increases, ensuring a system is utilised efficiently is necessary to deliver a computing service with value for money and a high research output.
With data rates increasing and more complex challenges arising in life sciences, Panasas’ Jim Donovan and Dale Brantly discuss the benefits of using HPC for these workloads
