Computing Enables Identification of Microbe DNA in Soil
The traditional method for studying a microbe is to cultivate it in the lab and examine its biology in detail. However, lab cultivation is possible for only a small fraction of microbe species. Scientists have thus turned to metagenomics - the computation-reliant study of DNA extracted from environmental samples rather than from cultivated organisms...more info >

Podcast with Pete Beckman: How to Make Computing Green
Is energy use in IT even big enough to matter? What about HPC? In the second episode of the Green HPC podcast series we put those questions to our guests, talk them about the primary drivers for the adoption of energy aware ("green") computing practices in IT at large, and then home in on HPC and how the customers, workloads, and solutions differ between the two...more info >
