A new facility at DOE's Argonne National Laboratory will develop tools to extract knowledge from petabytes of data and help researchers use their time more efficiently.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed new ways for the processors on multicore chips to share information more efficiently while using less power.
The metamorphosis of Jaguar into Titan marks a new architecture design path, and it will give scientists a powerful new research tool.
The never-ending number has led to ingenious algorithms used to calculate it with precision, in the process expanding the boundaries of what computers can do.
Oak Ridge's upgrade to new Opteron core processors and new GPUs could give Jaguar a shot at the world title for computing speed.
Researchers at IBM have developed new error-correction and fabrication processes that greatly increase processing times for quantum computers.
When completed later this year, the updated machine will have nearly three times the computing power.
The agency is looking at new information processing and networking technologies to dramatically reduce the time it takes to analyze data.
Problems with the experiment in which neutrinos exceeded the speed of light may have thrown off the results, CERN says. So for now, Einstein's still undefeated.
A transistor on a single atom raises tantalizing possibilities for quantum computing, though maybe not soon.
In the '60s, TV shows let fly with high-tech gadgets and Space Age technologies. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of John Glenn's historic space flight, we ask: Which had the best idea of things to come?
The demise of mainframe computers at NASA brings back memories of those Big Iron days. Have any stories you'd like to share?
Department of Energy scientists want to use outside air, and not much else, to cool the agency's new facility and supercomputer.
The Technology Policy Institute has developed a model for evaluating just how well the Internet is fulfilling its potential for hyperbole.
The innovative architecture could lead to data-centric computing that allows massive amounts of data to be accessed in less than a billionth of a second.
