NCSA, which has well over 100 Gbps of external WAN connections (and plans to go to 300 Gbps), can't come close to operating efficiently with those kinds of bottlenecks. Instead NCSA relies on passive monitoring techniques, making heavy use of ICSI's open-source Bro network security monitor to understand and protect its network. http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/13/0419Undergraduate.html http://illinois.edu/lb/article/0/0 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:13:00 GMT NCSA News Now University of Illinois faculty, staff, and students are invited to attend the SPIN Fellows Symposium from 3:30 to 5:30 pm May 1 at the NCSA Building, Room 1040. Students participating in the National Center for Supercomputing Applications' SPIN Fellows program will present their work, and a pizza reception will follow. http://www.sdsc.edu/News%20Items/PR040213_earthquake.html http://illinois.edu/lb/article/0/0 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:41:00 GMT NCSA News Now A research team led by Yifeng Cui, a computational scientist at SDSC, developed the scalable GPU accelerated code for use in earthquake engineering and disaster management through regional earthquake simulations at the petascale level as part of a larger computational effort coordinated by the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC). http://www.greatlakesconsortium.org/news/ http://illinois.edu/lb/article/0/0 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:12:00 GMT NCSA News Now The Great Lakes Consortium for Petascale Computation has awarded access to the Blue Waters supercomputer--which is capable of performing quadrillions of calculations every second and of working with quadrillions of bytes of data--to 10 diverse science and engineering projects. http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/Stories/GLM/ http://illinois.edu/lb/article/0/0 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 21:49:00 GMT NCSA News Now The Great Lakes Monitoring project--including contributions from NCSA--helps scientists and the public keep an eye on the Great Lakes' 94,000 square miles of water by aggregating and visualizing data, helping to answer fundamental questions about the lakes' health.
