Bioinformatics: New Technology Models for Research, Education, and Service
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Bioinformatics: New Technology Models for Research, Education, and Service (ID: ERB0408)
Author(s):Gary K. Allen (University of Missouri System)
Origin:Documents Contributed by ECAR, Research Bulletins (04/13/2004)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

Bioinformatics applies principles of information sciences and technologies to complex life sciences data. Life sciences research and education are increasingly dependent on bioinformatics and advanced information technologies in order to support their experimental approaches. This research bulletin provides an overview of the opportunities, challenges, and strategies for information technology organizations to optimally facilitate bioinformatics research and broader life sciences development efforts in higher education.

China Grid Project Goes Live
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:China Grid Project Goes Live (ID: CSD2999)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2003)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:Chinese education officials this week will launch a grid-computing project they say might one day cover 200,000 students at 100 universities around the country. The China Education and Research Grid, managed by the Chinese Ministry of Education, will initially include 12 universities and will be capable of 6 trillion FLOPS (floating point operations per second) by 2005. The power of the grid is expected to increase to 15 trillion FLOPS. Al Bunshaft, vice president of sales and development for grid computing for IBM, which is building the new Chinese grid computer, said it will be used for a University of Hong Kong Web-based language instruction application, video software developed by Peking University, and a suite of bioinformatics applications. The Chinese grid will not be as large as some, such as the U.S. National Science Foundation's TeraGrid, but Bunshaft said it could become the largest grid for remote learning.
