Designing flexible systems for rapid evolution
Sponsored by Scientific Computing and Dell
GPU Computing Thm
Using graphics processing units to run applications has become one of the hottest trends in high performance computing. The past few years have seen major changes, including increasing migration of single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) computations to highly-parallelized GPU environments available in current hardware configurations, and the ensuing significant performance increases many HPC algorithms have achieved through the use of hybrid GPU computing.

Compute More, Consume Less
Sponsored by Scientific Computing and Dell
Power and Cooling thm
In recent years, researchers have witnessed a tremendous explosion in the amount of data generated each day, and have experienced an increase in the complexity of computations needed to effectively understand and analyze this data. This impact is most evident in high performance computing (HPC), with its very large data volumes and the high computational effort needed to process them.

Visualization Best Practices
Seeing is Understanding
Sponsored by Scientific Computing and Dell 
Visualization has become an essential tool in scientific research, spanning many areas of science and engineering research and design. As complexity and data size have scaled dramatically, so have the requirements for processing, managing, and storing the enormous amounts of data needed for scientific visualization and analysis

Thanks for the Memory: More room for data in phase-change material
A team led by Johns Hopkins engineers has discovered some previously unknown properties of a common memory material, paving the way for development of new forms of memory drives, movie discs and computer systems that retain data more quickly, last longer and allow far more capacity than current data storage media ...continue
 

Informatics Convergence Presents Opportunities and Challenges
Informatics Convergence Presents Opportunities and Challenges
The future of ELN will require innovative and disruptive thinking
Michael H. Elliott
Technology convergence — it is happening all around us in the consumer world where smartphones consolidate diaries, calendars, messaging systems and phones into a single platform. In the last two years, mobile devices, such as the iPad, have converged most of the smartphone functionality into a thin, mobile — yet simple to use — computing platform. App stores provide the freedom users need to make individual choices of software solutions. No longer do consumers have to be beholden to monolithic applications that are difficult to install, support and use.

 ELN Authentication 
Navigating a Sea of Options
Michael H. Elliott
In an increasingly electronic R&D world, data must be stored securely for privacy, intellectual property protection, quality, regulatory, and for competitive reasons. As organizations move from controlled paper notebooks to an open and collaborative ELN work environment, there are record management risks that must be addressed. Valuable intellectual property can be subject to theft, and databases are susceptible to data-altering malware and hackers. An organization must have consistent, audited and proven record management practices that are enforced across the entire spectrum of their R&D operations.

New Algorithm May Help Data Centers Better Control Power Costs
New Algorithm May Help Data Centers Better Control Power Costs
Tackling green data center development challenges
Mike Martin
On the ground or in the cloud, energy consumption can pose costly dilemmas to data center operators looking to maximize revenue and minimize expense. To keep power costs down and paying clients happy, a three-person international research team has developed — and tested — a straightforward yet novel algorithm that optimizes server operations by balancing power with performance.

Could Power & Cooling Costs Spur a Scientific Migration?
Recent research shows HPC sites plan expansion despite growing concerns
Steve Conway
A decade ago, power and cooling didn’t make it onto the top 10 list of issues HPC data centers said they were facing. Today, power and cooling consistently ranks among data center managers’ top two or three challenges. What’s changed?

STATISTICA 10: The Power of Statistics and Data Mining Simplified
STATISTICA 10
User base broadens from scientists and engineers to business and social science areas
John A. Wass, Ph.D.
Web Exclusive
In the past, I have extolled STATISTICA 10 statistical software for its ability to cover just about any type of test the user may need. Now, the product line consists of bits and pieces of the whole for special applications and/or limited needs. The new Data Miner product contains all of the routine and advanced statistical tests, as well as a number of very sophisticated mining routines. All of this is still wrapped in a very straightforward and, in my opinion, simple user interface. Although some of the nomenclature will be unfamiliar to the new user, much of it is still intuitive, and the developers have done their homework in keeping the learning curve gentle.

Good Experimental Design Pays Dividends Continuously
Judicious selection of a logical sequence of designs leads to a model that pays for itself
Mark A. Anawis
The journalist David Brinkley once said “A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.” In science and engineering, a good experimental design is the key to a successful product, as well as understanding a process. A good design creates a useful mathematical model that can be used to understand and optimize a process.

John R. Joyce, Ph.D. 
If you were in attendance at Pittcon 2012, despite a tweet from someone saying that they hadn’t seen a QR code anywhere, you will no doubt have noticed that they were everywhere! You could find them on everything; including business cards, programs, part of exhibit booths, and even printed on T-shirts
