Researchers at the Center for Turbulence Research set a new record in supercomputing, harnessing a million computing cores to model supersonic jet noise. Work was performed on the newly installed Sequoia IBM Bluegene/Q system at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. Stanford Engineering’s Center for Turbulence Research (CTR) has set a new record in computational science by …
A real-world bionic man has been built. It has a frame of state-of-the-art prosthetic limbs and a functional heart-lung system, complete with artificial blood pumping through a network of pulsating modified-polymer arteries. It has a bionic spleen to clean the blood, and an artificial pancreas to keep his blood sugar on the level. Behind the …
The Panama Canal is 77 kilometers (48 miles) long and a Third Set of Locks Project is a project that will double the capacity of the Panama Canal by 2015 by allowing more and larger ships to transit. It is estimated to cost $5.25 billion. In 2025; total inflation-adjusted revenues for that year are predicted …
Dr. Hearn give an overview of his program – Optimization and Discrete Mathematics at the AFOSR (Air Force) Spring Review 2012. – Discusses the cutting edge of optimization – 25% of all scientific programming is spent on linear programming problems – metamaterial design – Describes the value of the travelling salesman problem and how they …
