ARM and University College London (UCL) have launched an educational kit, to help students develop their engineering skills, focusing on the Internet of Things (IoT). The hope is to encourage young engineers to remain in STEM related careers
The oil and gas industry depends on simulation. Robert Roe explores how the technique can optimise the integrity of structures in extreme environments
Regions that have a high population -- and hence a high demand for energy - may be suitable for wind energy production, despite having a low average wind speed according to research using data analysis and graphing software
Companies and countries alike must learn to master big data, or they will find themselves out-thought, out-flanked and out-dated, according to a new report
The MathJax Consortium has released MathJax v2.5-beta, which is focused on improving rendering speed and MathML support
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software is coming of age, highlighted by a report from market researchers Frost and Sullivan and a conference on the topic to be held in February. Robert Roe reports
The potential effect of flood waters can now be assessed more quickly, due to a new feature for Visdom, a Visual Analysis System, made possible by funding from the Austrian Science Fund FWF

Robert Roe looks at how software can help train the engineers of tomorrow
Engineers want to work on designing new aircraft, so getting software packages to talk to each other is critical, as Robert Roe reports
The automotive sector is undergoing a period of rapid and disruptive transformation from both a business and technical standpoint.
Estimates suggest that the global laboratory informatics market, valued at $2.6 billion in 2019, will witness CAGR of 7.5 per cent over the next five years, reaching $3.8 billion in 2024[1].
Modern drug discovery and development workflows incorporate a growing range of automated, high-throughput technologies that can generate data on a truly impressive scale.
‘This will be the life sciences century … because of personalised medicine, information technology, and knowledge on biological systems,’ said Fred Hassan, a partner of Warburg Pincus and former CEO of Schering-Plough.
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
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.
Architectural specialisation is one option to continue to improve performance beyond the limits imposed by the slow down in Moore’s Law.
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
