The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) will have its largest presence to date at Supercomputing ‘09 (SC09), the international conference for high-performance computing, networking, storage and analysis, which runs from November 16-20 in Portland, Oregon.
Emphasis on Scientific Visualization
“This is an exciting year for scientific visualization at SC09,” said Kelly Gaither, director of data & information analysis at TACC. “We’re in the process of constructing and deploying Longhorn, the largest hardware accelerated visualization cluster for use in the national open science community.
In January 2008, the National Science Foundation (NSF) initiated a $50 million, 5-year project — the “iPlant Collaborative” — to tackle grand challenge questions in plant biology.
iPlant will provide the cyberinfrastructure to enable plant scientists, computer scientists, and information scientists from around the world to collaboratively address questions of global importance.
