Andreessen recalls Mosaic as 'renegade project'Marc Andreessen had no idea that the Mosaic browser he co-developed with Eric Bina at NCSA would kick off the Web revolution. "We had extremely low expectations. And then of course it took off," Andreessen reminisced during a keynote session at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. Published Date: April 24, 2008 IBM's Turek calls U of I 'standard bearer for POWER-based supercomputing'University of Illinois will become the new standard bearer for high-end Power-Dave Turek, vice president of deep computing at IBM, says the Blue Waters petascale computing project will make NCSA and the University of Illinois the "standard bearer for high-end Power-based supercomputing." Published Date: April 9, 2008 IBM unveils water-cooled POWER6, precursor to Blue WatersIBM is moving to the use of water to cool its POWER processors, including the next-generation POWER7 processors that will be used in Blue Waters. "Now we're at a point in time where the only way to dissipate the heat is to use a material that will conduct the heat away," says Dave Turek, IBM's vice president of supercomputing. Published Date: April 8, 2008 NCSA powers scientific breakthroughs, technological innovationsComputing Research News spotlights NCSA, giving an overview of the center's expertise in high-performance computing, cutting-edge systems, cybersecurity, and other critical areas. Published Date: March 1, 2008 IACAT researcher Hwu says the future of scalable computing rests with GPUsWen-mei Hwu, leader of a project examining the use of next-generation acceleration systems for science and engineering applications through the Institute for Advanced Applications and Technologies, gave a talk as part of the Ohio Supercomputer Center's Computational Science Lecture Series. Hwu said that high-performance computing will rely on parallel programming on graphical processing units (GPUs) in order to continue improving application-level computation speeds.
