"OpenMP Expanding Its Scope to Embedded Systems and Accelerators"
The OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB), a global industry alliance dedicated to developing and promoting the OpenMP API, today announced that three new members joined the consortium this year, including Argonne, bringing the total number of member organizations to 22. This allows OpenMP to expand its scope from the traditional SMP systems to embedded systems and accelerators. Over the last three years seven members joined: three vendors, three research laboratories and one academic institution. These collaborate with existing OpenMP ARB members to develop the methods for programming next-generation parallel computing systems, which will include accelerators and embedded systems. | read more>

"New UIC Cyber-Commons Wall Pops with 3-D Imagery"
Seamlessly tiled LCD flat-screen displays stretching floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall at the University of Illinois at Chicago's Electronic Visualization Laboratory Cyber-Commons have rendered digitally enhanced images since opening in 2009. On Nov. 11, EVL demonstrates Cyber-Commons's latest enhancement -- three-dimensional imagery, displayed along with traditional 2-D images. UIC doctoral graduate Tom Peterka, now a scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, is helping in both NG-CAVE and CC3D development with an eye on possible use of 3-D technology at America's national laboratories. | read more>

"Powered by 500 Trillion Calculations and Tandem Catalysis"
With the power of 500 trillion calculations per second, a team of scientists from the Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and Brown University are mapping the movement of red blood cells -- hoping this will lead to better diagnoses and treatments for patients with blood flow complications. Argonne's Blue Gene/P supercomputer has allowed these scientists to create detailed models of blood flows that help doctors understand what happens at the molecular level, and consequently how heart and blood diseases can be treated. | read more>

"7 Hot Cloud Computing Innovations"
When scientists use the cloud for their studies, they often run up against computing limitations, even in large cloud deployments, rather quickly. "In science, there is an explosion of data in areas such as bio-informatics," said Dr. Kate Keahey, a scientist at Argonne National Laboratory and a fellow of the Computation Institute at the University of Chicago. "We have more data than we know what to do with, and we're not able to process that data effectively in traditional infrastructures."
As a result, researchers have been investigating ways to link their cloud deployments with other clouds. Called "sky computing," this model takes resources from multiple cloud providers and pools them to create large-scale, distributed infrastructures.
Often, the in-house cloud is linked with resources in public clouds, such as AWS. Sky-computing clouds have emerged at the University of Chicago, Purdue University and the University of Texas at Austin, to name only a few. | read more>
