Just a reminder of today's IIC Colloquium:
-----------------------------------------------------
High-Throughput Science
September 16, 2009, 4:00pm
60 Oxford Street, Cambridge, Room 330 (**NOTE LOCATION CHANGE**)
Hanspeter Pfister
Gordon McKay Professor of the Practice of Computer Science
Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
Abstract
How did the universe start? How is the brain wired? How does matter
interact at the quantum level? These are some of the great scientific
challenges of our times, and answering them requires bigger scientific
instruments, increasingly precise imaging equipment, and ever more
complex computer simulations. The traditional model is to process the
data on a remote supercomputer. However, low data transmission rates,
high energy consumption, and the high price of large parallel machines
are obstacles for many scientists. In this talk I will suggest that
commodity high-throughput computing is enabling high-throughput
science, where we process massive data streams efficiently and analyze
them rapidly, all the way from the instrument to the desktop. I will
present an overview of several projects at Harvard that leverage GPUs
for high-throughput science, ranging from radio astronomy and
neuroscience to quantum chemistry and physics.
About the speaker
Hanspeter Pfister received his Ph.D. in computer science in 1996 from
the State University of New York at Stony Brook and his M.S. in
electrical engineering from ETH Zurich, Switzerland, in 1991. Before
joining the Harvard faculty, he worked for 11 years at Mitsubishi
Electric Research Laboratories. His research lies at the intersection
of visualization, computer graphics, and computer vision and spans a
range of topics including scientific visualization, point-based
graphics, appearance modeling, face recognition, and computational
photography. He is the chief architect of VolumePro, Mitsubishi
Electric’s real-time volume-rendering hardware for PCs. Pfister has
taught courses at major graphics conferences including ACM SIGGRAPH,
IEEE Visualization, and Eurographics. Chair of the IEEE Visualization
and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC) and editor of the 2006 NIH/NSF
Visualization Research Challenges report, he is a senior member of the
IEEE Computer Society and member of ACM, ACM SIGGRAPH, and the
Eurographics Association. During the IIC's life as an Interfaculty
Initiative, Pfister served as Director of Visual Computing.

Dear Group,
FYI, the data connection is *not* set up yet, so please refrain from moving
just yet. Will keep you posted.
Thanks,

Dear group,
After baking the Nervous Breakdown Cake for Dmitrij's barbeque (a version of
gâteau basque), I was left with seven egg whites looking for a purpose. They
have been converted into coconut macaroons (with a surprise twist!), chiefly
because I'm not too hot on meringue.
Enjoy,
Ivan
Dear All
We will meet today at 11:00 in 6-310.
If you want to be removed from this list please let me know.

Dear Group,
I just found the Cv 004 door unlocked with all the lights on and no one
inside. Since the new space is on the ground floor and the desks are easily
visible through the door windows, I strongly suggest locking the doors at
all times. Your laptops and other valuables will be easy to take for the
passerby who happens upon an unlocked door.
We had the doors installed with automatic door shutters, but again, please
make sure that *both* doors are locked before you leave the lab.
Thanks,
Anna

Dear Group,
Several of you have asked me about scheduling meetings w/ Alan. Here's what
you need to do:
1) Send a Google Calendar invitation to *aspuru.assistant(a)gmail.com *with
your preferred meeting date/time and a brief comment about what the meeting
is about. Although we don't have an assistant at this time, I am still
receiving all the aspuru.assistant incoming mail so I'll take care of this
in the interim.
2) Since Alan has a packed teaching schedule this Fall, he has given general
instructions to schedule non-urgent meetings after his weekly teaching
commitments are over. Hence, Thursday afternoons and all day Fridays are
his preferred meeting times. Please take this into account as you decide on
when to meet.
Every group member (and undergrads too) should have access to Alan's Google
Calendar. *Patrick*, you may need to send me a Gmail address if you don't
already have access.
Thanks,
Anna

Dear Group:
Sarah left us some biscotti for us coffee drinkers (ok, ok, for non-coffee
drinkers as well).
Thank you, Sarah!
