Cycle Computing,
all the computers you’ll ever need




"
Jason Stowe just helped a USC researcher analyze 205,000 organic compounds to determine which ones might be good at powering the next generation of solar energy technology. “There are so many possibilities here,” Stowe explained to us on this week’s Structure Show podcast. “The problem is finding the right material, the one that actually has the properties you need — in this case a very efficient transformation of photons into electricity — without spending the entire 21st century looking for it.”
Thanks to Stowe and Cycle Computing, the cloud computing startup of which he’s CEO, that task took about 18 hours. It would have taken about 264 years running on a single Intel Sandy Bridge processor, but Cycle Computing had a few more cores at its disposal — 16,788 of them in total — all running in the Amazon Web Services cloud. The system had a peak performance of 1.21 petaflops (or 1.21 quadrillion mathematical operations per second), comparable to some of the fastest supercomputers in the world."

400,000 yr old people being rebuilt

Oldest human DNA sequenced.

Max Planck Institute

"Using novel techniques to extract and study ancient DNA researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, have determined an almost complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a 400,000-year-old representative of the genus Homo from Sima de los Huesos, a unique cave site in Northern Spain, and found that it is related to the mitochondrial genome of Denisovans, extinct relatives of Neandertals in Asia. DNA this old has until recently been retrieved only from the permafrost."

Much archaeology is still in the artefact discovery phase.

As co,computing quickens it will move to constructing causal and probabilistic simulations (many interesting ones already exist, but lack calculation-power to verify them)

Satellite Cooling System developed using Quantum Computing

Lockheed Matin made a contraversial move to buy the first Quantum Computer/



PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientists and engineers at the Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] Advanced Technology Center (ATC) have developed the lightest satellite cryocooler (cooling system) ever built. The breakthrough is seen as a game-changer in the design of affordable, advanced-technology flight systems, as it costs up to ten thousand dollars a pound for a satellite to orbit the Earth.
Known as a microcryocooler, the new cooling system weighs approximately 11 ounces, three times lighter than its predecessor, and is expected to have an operating life of at least ten years. The microcryocooler operates like a refrigerator, drawing heat out of sensor systems and delivering highly efficient cooling to small science satellites orbiting the Earth and on missions to the outer planets.
"Temperatures as low as -320 F are required for infrared instruments and the coolers must operate with minimum power and long lifetimes," said Ted Nast, Lockheed Martin fellow at the ATC in Palo Alto. "That is why we constantly pursue a deeper understanding of the dynamic effects of temperature on cutting-edge technology and develop new systems, like our microcryocooler, ­that will perform successfully within the demands and constraints presented by severe, operational thermal environments."


satelites are important for computers world wide which project and receive signalling.

Santa Claus Remains found. Facial Reconstruction

oldie but of maybe of seasonal interest:




"The remains of St. Nicholas, i.e. Santa Claus, have been in a church in Bari, Italy since they were stolen from Turkey in 1087. This reproduction, taken from measurements of his skull, reveal that St. Nicholas had a small body—he was only 5’6”—and a huge, masculine head, with a square jaw and strong muscles in the neck. He also had a broken nose, like someone had beaten him up.
