"A Few Early Cloud Computing Mavericks"
Argonne computer scientist Kate Keahey is an early innovator in the cloud space, and one of the people who inspired the first generation of my Enomaly IaaS platform back in 2004. Her research focuses on virtualization, policy-driven resource management, and various aspects of obtaining quality of service in the Grid environment. She leads the Globus Toolkit Virtual Workspace (renamed Nimbus) that develops methods for dynamic deployment of virtual appliances and is arguably the first true IaaS platform. | read more>

"Why the DOE Thinks Supercomputing will Change our Energy Future"
Forbes writer Josh Wolfe sat down for an exclusive interview with U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who shared his thoughts on the current state of supercomputing. The Nobel Prize-winning scientist is betting that these super machines will play a key role in designing new products and solving longstanding energy challenges: from better engines to advanced nuclear reactors. He's backing his bet with significant resources, offering some of the Department's world-leading supercomputers for use by industry leaders. | read more>

"How cloud storage could catch up with big data"
Cloud computing has managed to make the world's already colossal appetite for data storage even more voracious. And now another technology, already at work behind the scenes, could grow in importance in the coming years. Erasure coding has been around since the 1980s, but until recently its use in storage circles has mainly been confined to single storage boxes as a way to boost reliability more efficiently. Now erasure coding is moving into distributed storage. Its application becomes trickier here, but industry executives and storage researchers believe erasure coding -- particularly in conjunction with increasingly popular techniques such as object-based storage -- will play a growing role in cloud storage. Potential government adopters include Energy Department labs and other agencies with vast data stores. | read more>
