Berkeley Lab Researchers Analyze Performance, Potential of Cell Processor
Though it was designed as the heart of the upcoming Sony PlayStation3 game console, the STI Cell processor has created quite a stir in the computational science community, where the processor’s potential as a building block for high performance computers has been widely discussed and speculated upon. To evaluate Cell’s potential, computer scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory evaluated the processor’s performance in running several… Read More »
New Microbial Metagenome Data Analysis System in Production
An experimental metagenomics data management and analysis system co-developed by the Biological Data Management and Technology Center (BDMTC) at Berkeley Lab with the Genome Biology Program and Microbial Ecology Program at DOE’s Joint Genome Institute and released earlier this year is also already helping produce scientific discoveries.Called IMG/M, the system extends the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) system with the ability to integrate and analyze metagenome data, and has provided… Read More »
Bailey Co-Organizes Math Course
David H. Bailey, the Chief Technologist of the Computational Research Division, co-organized a two-day course entitled “Experimental Mathematics in Action” at the annual joint meeting of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America. The meeting was held January 10-15 in San Antonio, Texas.[image class="right" src="/assets/Images/News/2006/Math-Course/2a6a9215ae/Screen-Shot-2015-07-08-at-1.33.16-PM.png" width="94" height="116" alt="" title=""… Read More »
Former DOE Fellow Returns to Berkeley
Jon Wilkening
Jon Wilkening, who earned his Ph.D. in 2002 from UC Berkeley working with CRD Math Group Lead James Sethian, has returned to Berkeley as an assistant professor and collaborator with the Math Group.
Wilkening accepted a DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship in 1997… Read More »
ViCE Helps Smooth Scientific Workflows
DSD’s work in higher-level interfaces to the Grid has led to the development of a visual programming tool, ViCE, that is used to collaboratively develop and execute complex scientific workflows. Scientific projects today are frequently large collaborations among geographically and organizationally distributed teams. ViCE is designed to support scientists collaborating over a visual description of their workflow. A workflow is represented as a set of nodes and links. The nodes… Read More »
CRD’s Chevassut Shares Expertise in Cryptography
Olivier Chevassut, who is the lead cryptographer for CRD, 
continues to build a reputation as an international expert on the theoretical and practical aspects of both cryptography and network security. In the first few months of 2006, Chevassut and several collaborators will have three conference papers and one journal article… Read More »
CRD’s PyGlobus Tools Proving Popular
CRD’s Distributed Systems Department (DSD), which has led the development of the de facto standard tools for developing Grid Services, applications and portals using the Python programming language, proved a popular draw at the LBNL booth at the SC05 conference in Seattle. Python is a high-level interpreted language that supports a rapid application development cycle. Python’s minimal syntax makes it an ideal language for use by non-computer scientists. It also easily supports… Read More »
