| ISSUE EIGHT - SUMMER 2008 |
Our cover stories this quarter include an interview with George Cotter–who discusses science, computing, and national security–and an astrophysics feature on black hole mergers and gravitational waves. This issue the project focus delves into the SciDAC Visualization and Analytics Center for Enabling Technologies (VACET). Agent-based modeling and quantum mechanics research on strange states of matter are the topics of two other features. Details about heterogeneous computing on the Cray XT5h supercomputer are examined in the hardware section. Finally, we close this issue with an editorial by Dr. Horst Simon about the challenges presented by extremely large collections of data.
