Cloud Computing and Science – MATLAB on Clouds
I am a strong advocate of using Cloud Computing in Science. I had talked about it in my post on LHC Computing and, again, when I wrote about Mathematica embracing the clouds. Through Jinesh’s post on AWS Blog, I came across a whitepaper that explains how one can run MATLAB, proprietary technical computing software from [...]
Cloud Computing and Science – Mathematica Embraces Cloud Computing
Image via Wikipedia Scientists are always in need of poweful computing resources to do complex calculations. They have relied on everything from super computer to distributed systems like SETI@HOME. In fact, High Performance Computing (HPC) can accelerate the speed at which science is done and can open up new vistas to scientists. Scientific community has [...]
LHC Computing Grid and the New Era of Scientific Computing
Image by Image Editor via Flickr The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Project at CERN, European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the largest particle physics project in the world, collecting enormous amounts of data. To give you a perspective on the amount of data we are talking here, let me quote this article from Yahoo News. [...]
