The LSU Center for Computation & Technology's (CCT) STE||AR Group is proud to announce the fourth formal release of High Performance ParalleX (HPX) (V0.9.0). HPX is the first freely available, open source, feature-complete, modular, and performance-oriented representation of the ParalleX execution model targeted at conventional architectures and, currently, Linux-based systems, such as SMP nodes and conventional clusters.
With this release we were able to add a significant amount of documentation, to converge our API with the Standard C++11 library, to improve overall performance, to fix quite a number of bugs, and to clean up our code base.
The most important design objective of HPX is to create a state-of-the-art parallel runtime system augmenting the Standard C++ runtime environment and providing a solid foundation for extreme-scale applications while remaining as efficient, as portable, and as modular as possible.
The next step will be to move the source code repository to github (http://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx). This step is a direct consequence of our commitment to release HPX as a true open source library (HPX is licensed under the very liberal Boost license: http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt). Additionally, this move is aligned with the goal to make HPX as widely available as possible and to engage the whole community. We will announce separately when this move has been completed.
The next release, scheduled for October 2012, will be special as it marks V1.0.

Rapid growth in certain segments of the nation’s population is pushing the country’s educational challenges to a crisis level, while too many of the “precious few” under-represented minority students pursuing science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) disciplines are dropping out or changing majors, according to Richard Tapia, an internationally known mathematician.

This week, NASA announced it would soon be launching a new HPC and data facility that will give Earth scientists access to four decades of satellite imagery and other datasets. Known as the NASA Earth Exchange (NEX), the facility is being promoted as a “virtual laboratory” for researchers interested in applying supercomputing resources to studying areas like climate change, soil and vegetation patterns, and other environmental topics.

With the rollout of high performance, lossless Ethernet products over the last few years, there were more than a few analysts predicting the slow retreat of InfiniBand. But thanks to a peculiar confluence of technology roadmaps, a payoff in some investments made by Mellanox, and a pent-up demand for server and storage deployment now being alleviated by Intel's Romley platform, InfiniBand is having a big year.
