"SiCortex Gets Personal"
At Argonne National Lab, Rick Stevens, associate director of Computing and Life Sciences, also has a Catapult in his office. The system was purchased in conjunction with the 5.8 teraflop SC5832 the lab purchased in October 2007. No word on what Stevens is up to with his system, but since he still dabbles in programming, one can assume his personal SC072 is getting a workout. | read more>

"A New Format For Global Academic Research"
There is nothing new about universities supporting international collaborative efforts—research projects, exchanges of students and faculty, specific short-term partnerships around urgent issues, etc. What then, if anything, is different in the project of "the global university," one that a growing number of universities in the U.S. are now heralding?
This new format would function as a collaborative grid, with "open" access-where open is of course conditioned on some kind of membership, based on expertise. In the natural sciences, my former colleague at the University of Chicago’s Argonne Laboratory, Ian Foster, has developed a digital grid for scientific collaboration, which is one version of such an infrastructure already in use. | read more>

"Bill Gates talks tech at GSB"
In the future that Bill Gates envisions, technology will enable the seamless flow of information between a wide assortment of sources and media, and scientists will be able to make sophisticated calculations that will change our understanding of the universe.
The chairman and co-founder of Microsoft addressed an overflow crowd of over 450 students, faculty and staff at the University of Chicago’s Graduate School of Business’ Harper Center Wednesday, detailing the future of software, his charity work toward improving the lives of the world’s poorest and the collaborations between his company, foundation, and educational institutions. The lecture stemmed from a request by Gates to meet with Ian Foster, director of the Computation Institute and associate director of the mathematics and computer science division at Argonne National Laboratory. | read more>
