Let’s Hear it for SIMD Programming
Single-instruction multiple data (SIMD) can give a huge performance boost to an application that you’re working on. It also requires almost no effort on your part. Slashdot Media Contributing Editor Rick Leinecker take a high-level look at SIMD and what it can do for you.

New Imaging Technology Improves, Speeds CT Scans
Purdue University researchers have used a supercomputer to develop new imaging technology that can sharpen and speed CT scans, allowing physicians to make more-precise diagnoses while exposing patients to lower doses of radiation. Xiao Wang, an electrical and computer engineering doctoral student, is focusing his research on improving model-based image …

Supercomputer Powers Search for New Antibiotics
Researchers have used a supercomputer to identify a class of possible new antibiotics that could be effective against drug-resistant bacteria. These new drugs launch a two-pronged attack against bacteria: at the energy-carrying molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and at their external lipid cellular wall, according to a San Diego Supercomputer …

What’s the Difference Between LXC and Docker?
Though Docker—an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers—first emerged in 2013, its rise has been meteoric. But, you could be forgiven for thinking that containers didn’t exist before then. That’s unfair to LXC (Linux Containers) which first appeared in mid-2008 but whose origin started in …

A Quick Look at Machine Learning vs. Standard Algorithms
Is there a difference between a normal algorithm and machine learning? Slashdot Media Contributing Editor Rick Leinecker gives the answer. He then shows the three major categories of machine learning, discusses how it is used and reveals what Intel’s Parallel Studio has to offer.

Intel, Alan Turing Institute Partner to Further Big Data
Intel has announced a long-term strategic partnership with the Alan Turing Institute (ATI), the United Kingdom’s new national center for data science. Researchers from Intel and ATI will collaborate on research focused on high-performance computing and data analytics, according to a recent press release by the institute. Intel will provide …

Cloud-Enabled Datacenters to Outpace Physical Servers in 2016
Intel, other IT providers race to provide ecosystem of support to secure, manage increasingly complex “standard” distributed datacenter architecture Modern datacenters are shifting so dramatically toward virtualization that the number of workloads running on physical servers will drop for the first time during 2016, while total workload volume increases by …

Computer Models Help Doctors Personalize Epilepsy Treatment
Physicians could one day personalize treatments for epilepsy patients by using computer models that pinpoint parts of people’s brains that are responsible for epileptic seizures, according to researchers in the United Kingdom. Anticonvulsant drugs are the main treatment for temporal lobe epilepsy, which is the most common type of epilepsy. …

NCAR Prepares Fire Prediction System for Colorado
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) will use supercomputer simulations to help build a fire prediction system for the state of Colorado that can forecast where and how fast wildland fires will spread. The technology will generate real-time, 18-hour forecasts of active wildfires in the state and provide good …
