Whilst on the ice, the teachers will be in daily contact with pupils through the internet.

Dan Reed: On Many-Core Futures and Parallelism in the Cloud

10 Apr 2008 at 3:42pm

Listen

pa href="http://www.hpcdan.org/"Dan Reed/a is Microsoft's Director of Scalable/Multi-Core Systems Research and head of the a href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2008/mar08/03-18UPCRCPR.mspx"recently formed Universal Parallel Computing Research Centers (UPCRC)/a: one at the University of California at Berkeley (UC-Berkeley) and a second at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Since we focus a great deal on the Cocurrency and Parallelism Revolution here on C9 we figured Dan would be another great technical guru to talk about Multi/Many-Core's impact of the future of general purpose computing. The angle of this conversation focuses attention on the server-side parallelism story which is distinct from the client problem (as addressed deeply and eloquently by Burton Smith a href="/Showpost.aspx?postid=382639"here/a).brbrCertainly the Cloud, as it were, must be scalable and highly performant in the parallel age of Many-Core. What are some of the challenges on the server side with respect to concurrent processing? Clustered server environments have traditionally been very good at parallel computation (compared to the general purpose client) so what's Dan and Microsoft working on to ensure our Cloud scales to Many-Core?brbrDan has a very interesting biography:brbr/pquot;Previously, I was the founding director of the Renaissiance Computing Institute (RENCI) at the University of North Carolina, the Chancellor's Eminent Professor, and Senior Advisor for Strategy and Innovation. Before that, I was head of the Department of Computer Science, Edward William and Jane Marr Gutgsell Professor, and Director of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois. brI am also a member of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) and chair of the Computing Research Association (CRA)quot; brbrDan was the Director of NCSA during the birth of the web browser Mosaic which changed the way people interact with the Internet forever... We talk about where the web is today (including browsers) versus what Mosaic enabled when it arrived.brbrEnjoy. This is another great discussion with a supercomputing stalwart whose main focus these days in ensuring we are prepared for the highly parallel future of general purpose computation in the sky.brbra href="http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/0/DanReedCloudParallelism_ch9.wmv"Low res file here/a.br/a href="http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/0/DanReedCloudParallelism_ch9.mp3"Listen to the podcast(MP3)/abr/a href="http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/0/DanReedCloudParallelism_ch9.wma"Listen to the podcast(WMA)/abr/a href="http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/0/DanReedCloudParallelism_2MB_ch9.wmv"Dow nload the Video/abr/a href="mms://mschnlnine.wmod.llnwd.net/a1809/d1/ch9/0/DanReedCloudParallelism_s_ch9.wm v"Watch the Video/a

How Did the Universe Become 'Just Right'?

23 Nov 2007 at 6:06pm

Why did our universe develop in such a way that we can exist? Was it by accident or by design? And is that a question science can answer? Writer, physicist and cosmologist Paul Davies discusses his theories on how the universe came to be such a perfect environment for life.
