"StarGate Demo at SC09 Shows How to Keep Astrophysics Data Out of Archival"
As both an astrophysicist and director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), Mike Norman understands two common perspectives on archiving massive scientific datasets. During a live demonstration at the SC09 conference of streaming data simulating cosmic structures of the early universe, Norman said that some center directors view their data archives as "black holes," where a wealth of data accumulates and needs to be protected...

"Neural Modeling Helps Expose Epilepsy's Triggers"
A brain scan of an epileptic seizure reveals fierce electrical storms that pop up seemingly at random, proliferate over large areas of the brain and subside almost as quickly as they arose. Argonne researchers are using high-performance computers to create life-like models of small areas in the brain that cast new light on why seizures occur and propagate.
