Alison Kennedy discusses why self-help will not be enough to overcome the challenge of XXscale in the HPC industry
Robert Roe looks at the software that can manage a product from the cradle to the grave - and beyond
A globally harmonised system for labelling all containers in the laboratory, drawing the information from the laboratory informatics system, would be a very good thing, surely? Not so, says Gloria Metrick
Reagan W Moore argues that policy-based data-management systems are the next stage in the evolution of large-scale data management
A Europe-wide project to help scientists make better use of their data is entering its final year. Laurence Field looks at the lessons
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
