LIVE@SCO9: Bruce Toal, CEO, President and Co-Founder of Convey Computer demonstrates how their hybrid-core computing technology delivers significantly higher performance at much lower power. And how, with their proprietary adaptive architecture, servers can dynamically and transparently reload different "personalities” that are optimized for different applications. Convey (www.conveycomputer.com) was presented with an HPCwire Editors’ Choice Award as a top vendor “positioned to lead FPGAs out of the HPC wilderness”. Take a look at their virtual booth video live from SC09.

Although serious scientists believe we’re past the point of debating the validity of climate change, the computer models that support this research are not perfect. Fortunately, the latest improvements to high-resolution climate simulations are not only improving the fidelity of the models, but are also deepening our understanding of climate dynamics, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Despite the highly profitable nature of the pharmaceutical business and the large amount of R&D money companies throw at creating new medicines, the pace of drug development is agonizingly slow. Over the last few years, on average, less than two dozen new drugs have been introduced per year. One of the more promising technologies that could help speed up this process is supercomputing.

While governments in much of the rest of the world are wringing their hands over stagnant or shrinking R&D budgets, Australia is buying up HPC machinery like there is no tomorrow. Just this week, Cray, IBM, and SGI announced supercomputing deals that would send the vendors' latest and greatest HPC equipment Down Under. In this case, the three systems are headed to various research facilities in New South Wales and Western Australia.
