This is really something
"Stampede's" Comprehensive Capabilities to Bolster U.S. Open Science Computational Resources Texas Advanced Computing Center's new supercomputer to enable traditional HPC, data-intensive computing, and scientific visualization for nation's scientists The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at The University of Texas at Austin today announced that it will deploy and support a world-class supercomputer with comprehensive computing and visualization capabilities for the open science community, as part of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) "eXtreme Digital" (XD) program. The new system, called Stampede, will be built by TACC in partnership with Dell and Intel to support for four years the nation's scientists in addressing the most challenging scientific and engineering problems. NSF is providing $27.5 million immediately and Stampede is expected to be up and running in January 2013. The estimated investment will be more than $50 million over four years; the Stampede project may be renewed in 2017, which would enable four additional years of open science research on a successor system. Announcing: STAMPEDE (Video Press Release) |

 Facebook: Are you sure you want to click on that? Facebook is ramping up the fight against those annoying and potentially harmful scam attacks. The site is teaming up with WebSense, a San Diego, California-based Internet security firm, to warn users when they're about to leave Facebook for a site that might be trying to steal their personal data. Starting today, any link users click on Facebook will be checked against WebSense's database of sites that might contain malware or be used for "phishing" of the user's credit card or other personal information... |

This is for Jean Pierre as he always brings a smile and a warm heart to this forum. I spent some time down at AMD in Austin,TX.. OOOH the toys they have there! That's all I can say for now, more later on  So I dont know if you've seen or if its' real, someone put what they are calling a FX-8150 on PASSMARK benchmarks. It didnt' do too well, not even as well as the I7 2600K, never mind their 6 core when it comes out in nov (hopefully). I was REALLY hoping AMD would have something to put in the 4th box I'm building. Tired of just intel (I'm a gamer I remember AMD's great stuff)  |

Chief Scientist at NASA Langley Acknowledges Andrea Rossi E-cat http://nickelenergy.wordpress.com/2011/06/02/...edges-andrea-rossi-e-cat/ Today is the 1 megawatt test of the E-cat. I am not a believer but I find it interesting to follow. I hope I am wrong. See: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-10/28/cold-fusion http://www.e-catworld.com/ http://www.ecatnews.net/ Jerry |
