A new program funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act through the U.S. Department of Energy will examine cloud computing as a cost-effective and energy-efficient computing paradigm for scientists to accelerate discoveries in a variety of disciplines, including analysis of scientific data sets in biology, climate change and physics. http://www.physorg.com/news174751466.html Technology Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:05:10 EST news174751466 The outlook for the wireless industry is getting cloudier. Consumers have tapped into cloud computing technology for years: sending messages via Hotmail, uploading photos to Facebook or editing a spreadsheet on Google Docs are just a few examples. Simply put, cloud computing moves data from a single machine, such as a personal computer, to the Internet. The technology frees users from needing to be at a specific PC to access saved information. http://www.physorg.com/news173533660.html Technology Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:48:16 EST news173533660 The US government took a leap into a cloud computing future on Tuesday, opening up an online storefront where agencies can purchase the Internet-based services. http://www.physorg.com/news172246400.html Technology Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:30:01 EST news172246400 Hitachi Ltd., Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. and some other organizations plan to jointly develop a next-generation optical disc that can store 25 times more data than a Blu-ray Disc, with the aim of putting the technology into practical use in 2012, industry sources said this week. http://www.physorg.com/news168803868.html Electronics Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:00:01 EST news168803868 For the last year, the tech world has buzzed with talk of the next big thing: cloud computing. Hailed as a breakthrough that will allow companies to compute without much hardware, the technology has pushed companies such as Microsoft, Amazon.com and Google to stake their claim. http://www.physorg.com/news166984911.html Technology Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:50:01 EST news166984911 Cloud computing is a hot topic in the technology world these days. Even if you're not a tech-phile, chances are if you've watched a lot of television or skimmed a business magazine, you've heard someone talking about cloud computing as the way of the future. While it's difficult to predict the future, a cloud computing infrastructure project developed at Argonne National Lab, called Nimbus, is demonstrating that cloud computing's potential is being realized now. http://www.physorg.com/news161026777.html Technology Fri, 08 May 2009 18:40:12 EST news161026777 DNA sequencing is the next frontier in biological research. As new sequencing technology becomes more efficient and affordable, it is increasingly available to small laboratories. Thus, sequencing data is being generated at a faster rate than ever before. http://www.physorg.com/news159721281.html Technology Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:02:19 EST news159721281 Andrea Chavez works for a law firm with nearly 40 other attorneys.

Once a term confined to the personal-speak of high-minded tech geeks and derided by critics as a bogus marketing ploy, cloud computing today is arguably the hottest trend sweeping the information technology industry sector, investors, analysts and entrepreneurs say. http://www.physorg.com/news159011833.html Technology Wed, 15 Apr 2009 10:57:56 EST news159011833 Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin Biotechnology and Bioengineering Center in Milwaukee have just made the very expensive and promising area of protein research more accessible to scientists worldwide. http://www.physorg.com/news158583793.html Medicine & Health Fri, 10 Apr 2009 12:04:03 EST news158583793 (PhysOrg.com) -- The advantages of cloud computing were dramatically illustrated last week by researchers working on the STAR nuclear physics experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider. New simulation results were needed for presentation at the Quark Matter physics conference; but all the computational resources were either committed to other tasks or did not support the environment needed for STAR computations. Fortunately, working with technology developed by the Nimbus team at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, the STAR researchers were able to dynamically provision virtual clusters on commercial cloud computers and run the additional computations just in time. http://www.physorg.com/news157974755.html Technology Fri, 03 Apr 2009 10:55:03 EST news157974755 The recent hubbub about cloud computing -- how to define it and where it's heading -- has me wondering something.
