This is an idea to join together math models of execution environment and the software that is running on a distributed hardware to meet fault tolerant requirements through parallel n-versions application execution and continuous configuration of the system. Math model leverages environment and software faults (including missed deadlines) to the faults with better failure semantics and allows managed redundancy. Scal@Grid proposes event-driven style of application development and C# programming interface.

Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) today announced that Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) will double the capacity of its 10-teraflops (10 trillion floating point operations per second) Cray XT3 system to over 21 teraflops by the end of this year. Nicknamed "BigBen," PSC's system was the first Cray XT3 supercomputer to be installed and became the leading performer among tightly coupled supercomputer architectures on the National Science Foundation's TeraGrid computing infrastructure. The upgrade is expected to significantly boost the TeraGrid's ability to support the most demanding, large-scale scientific applications -- known as "capability" computing.

RealWorldTech: Even to the casual observer, it is apparent that the time of multi-core computing is upon us. In fact, this shift occurred several years in the past. The first general purpose CPU to feature Chip Multi-Processing (CMP) was the IBM POWER4, which debuted in 2001. Today, there is not a high performance MPU family without a shipping CMP design. Even our video game consoles are shifting towards CMP oriented designs. The Xbox 360 feature 3-way symmetrical CMP, while the CELL processor uses upto 8 SIMD Processing Elements, each with its own private address space, which could be considered a form of CMP. With the shift towards CMP systems, it is more important than ever to understand the additional complexities of multi-processor systems over traditional uni-processor machines.

New measure techniques have improved the understanding of how biological molecules form their 3-D structures. The improved precision of the measurements means that researcher can now trace the whole route taken when a bio-molecule is formed which should help researchers improve their understanding of what causes mis-folding diseases like Mad Cow (BSE) and Alzeimer's.
