Energy Buys Linux
Cluster for NERSC
The Department of Energy’s National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Berkeley Lab has taken delivery on a 722-processor cluster system from Linux Networx Inc. Running 2.2 GHz Opteron processors from Advanced Micro Devices, this machine could offer a peak performance of 3.1 Teraflops. The NERSC machine—nicknamed Jacquard after mechanized loom inventor and punch card pioneer Joseph Marie Jacquard—will be available for DOE-funded researchers to run their jobs remotely. “This system will be used by basically every type of science application that there is,” NERSC general manager Bill Kramer said.

Cheaper Solar Energy
Via ‘Dirty Silicon’?
A research team led by engineers at UC Berkeley and Berkeley Lab has developed a new technique to handle metal defects in low-grade silicon, an advance that could dramatically reduce the cost of solar cells. Nearly 90 percent of solar, or photovoltaic, cells in the world are made from a refined, highly purified form of silicon, whose supplies are limited. But now, Lab materials scientist Eicke Weber has found a way to leave the impurities in more abundant ‘dirty silicon’ and manipulate them in a way that reduces their detrimental impact on the solar cell efficiency. Matthew Marcus of the Lab’s Advanced Light Source is also part of the team. Full story.
