The University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory established the Computation Institute in 2000 to address the most challenging problems arising in the use of strategic computation and communications. Its establishment was motivated by the tremendous opportunities inherent in new approaches to research based on the large-scale application of computation, data, and communications, and the strategic importance to the University and Argonne of developing the capabilities required to exploit those opportunities. http://www.ci.anl.gov Computation Institute As both an astrophysicist and director of the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), Mike Norman understands two common perspectives on archiving massive scientific datasets.

The first involves developing climate models capable of executing efficiently on ultra-high-speed supercomputers, with full integration of biosphere and atmospheric processes. The second cl http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/news/detail.php?id=248 Argonne National Laboratory staff will be presenting a wide variety of papers, workshops, Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, tutorials, and posters at SC09 on November 14-20 in Portland, Oregon. In addition to the participation in the technical program, http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/news/detail.php?id=242 As part of insideHPC's series of articles with some of the big thinkers in HPC ahead of SC09, insideHPC spent some time with Rick Stevens to get a sense from him about where we are now, and where our community is headed next. http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/news/detail.php?id=237 Chicago, popularly known for its gangsters, sports fans and deep-dish pizza, also has a cluster of impressive research institutions that often get overshadowed by the elite universities on both US coasts.
