Journals 2006.08 — by Marek Behr — posted on Aug 16, 2006 12:26 PM —

• BibTeX

The DFG announced a deal with many publishers on national electronic access to journal content.

The miserable e-journal situation in Aachen took a big turn for the better, because of the DFG decision to fund Germany-wide access to numerous journal archives, including many from Elsevier, Springer and Wiley. The journals can be accessed via the Regensburg portal. Most recent years are typically not covered, and here access will continue to vary wildly from school to school. But the accessibility of pre-2000 publications in engineering and science is now excellent.

100 TFLOPS Sun — by Marek Behr — posted on Nov 15, 2005 09:28 PM —

• Computers

Sun announces plans to build an AMD-based Top-5 supercomputer.

The announcement lists Tokyo Institute of Technology as the recipient, and 10,480 AMD cores with Voltaire Infiniband interconnect, expected to reach 100 TFLOPS.

• Computers

The Register reports on the Sun Niagara CPU. Echos of the CRAY MTA in a 1 GHz, 8 core, 32 thread chip. Update: Sun actually has a web page about this approach, which they call "chip multithreading technology".

Fortress is the new Fortran?

An article on the Sun web site describes Guy Steele's work on Fortress programming language. Steele worked on Java as well as on High-Performance Fortran; he freely admits that Java sucks for scientific computing, and sets about fixing the problem...

Update: the Fortress Language Specification 0.618 and slides and audio from a recent Sun talk are now online.
