Registration Open for 2013 Open Science Grid All Hands Meeting

The OSG Operations Center and Indiana University will be hosting the annual OSG All Hands Meeting on the week of March 11th on the downtown Indianapolis campus of IUPUI.

Indiana University collaborates with SPEC on new HPC benchmark

Indiana University recently partnered with Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC) to create an updated benchmark for measuring performance using applications based on the OpenMP 3.1 standard for shared-memory parallel processing. The benchmark, SPEC OMP2012, is released officially by SPEC’s high-performance group (HPG).

IU Astronomy, Pervasive Technology Institute get 'big picture' with collaboration on new camera

PTI is developing the Web-based science gateway, called the ODI Pipeline, Portal and Archive, to help researchers pool resources and analyze, manipulate and store data from the WIYN One Degree Imager. It leverages IU's Data Capacitor and Scholarly Data Archives systems for storage, and XSEDE for computation. Once data are moved to and archived at the IU Data Center, astronomers will no longer need to transfer all the intermediate stages of their data to their home computers. Instead, they'll be able to work in a cloud configuration, downloading only their final results.
