Intel
Corp., the largest supplier of microprocessors for desktop computers,
is expanding further into the lucrative field of high-performance
computing, according to a study released on Monday. Such computing
involves either clusters of separate networked computers with
up to 3,000 processors in them or supercomputers with hundreds
of chips on one machine. Of the top 500 supercomputers in the
world, 119 were based on Intel chips, up from 56 systems six
months ago and three a year ago, according to the semiannual
Top500 List, compiled by researchers at the University of Mannheim
in Germany, the University of Tennessee and the National
Energy Research Scientific Computing center at Berkeley Lab.

Sequestration
Focus of Leader Forum
Energy
ministers from 14 countries and the European Union gathered
yesterday in Tyson's Corner, VA for a three-day discussion
of ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions using commercially
workable carbon capture and storage technologies known
as carbon sequestration. The first meeting of the Carbon
Sequestration Leadership Forum, hosted by the U.S. State
and Energy Departments, will identify potential areas
of multilateral cooperation on carbon sequestration.
(Berkeley Lab’s robotic ocean carbon sensors are
noted). Full

a Part of ALS’
10th Anniversary Fete
Do
you have stories about the early years of the ALS, or historical
insights (and hindsights) about its construction? Were you there
when the first light shone through a beamline? If you have a
story to tell or a photo to show, contact the organizers of
the ALS 10-year anniversary. They would also like to hear from
anyone who would like to participate in planning the celebration.

Lab
Browsing
For a New Browser
The
Information Technologies and Services Division,
which provides the Lab with centralized e-mail,
calendar and business applications, is evaluating
the Mozilla browser as an alternative for the
currently recommended Netscape 4.75 e-mail client
and Web browser. The effort is called BEEP, for
Browser and E-mail Evaluation Project. The goal
is to find a stable, cross-platform solution that
does not come bundled with commercial ‘extras’.
The next step is to develop draft documents that
identify conversion issues such as address books,
message filters, bookmarks, and mail folders.

ITSD
Hosts Training
For College Instructors
The
Information Technologies and Services Division
hosted 22 Bay Area community college instructors
for two days of discussion and training this month
as part of a continuing effort to help faculty
keep their computing and networking curricula
up to date. The training sessions were co-sponsored
by the Lab and the IT Industry-Education Partnership
and Regional Community College Curriculum Collaborative.
Participating colleges were Laney, Diablo Valley
(DVC), Ohlone, Mission, City College of San Francisco
and College of Alameda. |
