  Researchers at RIT are striving to make supercomputers more energy efficient. Supercomputers, high powered machines that are typically used for extremely calculation-intensive tasks, traditionally expend a great deal of energy—which can be problematic for institutions such as RIT that take pride in their sustainability efforts.... more ..

A paper from our group that shows how to use our Gridshell for workflows has been accepted at the 4th International Workshop on Workflow Systems in e-Science (WSES 09) in conjunction with 9th IEEE International Symposium on Cluster Computing and the Grid. The conference will be held in May 2009, Shanghai, China

Note; Due to an emergency and time conflict the trip needed to be canceled.

 

The Paper we submitted to the Microsoft e-Science Workshop that has been accepted and presented, has now also been published on the Microsoft Academic Resource Center. ...more...

This paper has not been sponsored by a Microsoft grant.

 

The Lab research cluster has arrived. We received 40 2U servers in two racks totaling 80 CPUs, 320GB of RAM, and 40TB of disk space. The cluster was donated to Dr. von Laszewski by Microsoft. We intend to use this cluster to conduct research on Cloud and Grid Computing. We invite scientist at the university to join us in utilizing the machines. for more information, please contactlaszewski@gmail.com.

I like to especially thank Gus Weber and also Brian Hammond from Microsoft to make this possible.

More pictures from the arrival can be found here...

   We are happy to announce that a paper on Cloud Computing has been accepted for publication in the Springer Journal New Generation Computing

The preprint can be downloaded from

Cloud computing: a perspective study

We are happy to announce that Dr. von Laszewski gives an invited talk at the ESRF about use of Grids at synchrotrons at ESRF in Grenoble, France. The workshop discusses the use of the Grid for Synchrotron Radiation Data Analysis in the framework of the European FP7 financed ESRFUP program. For more information please see:

The participation and presentations at this workshop is limited and selective.

We are happy to announce that we have a poster presentation at the Microsoft e-science meeting.http://research.microsoft.com/workshops/escience2008/
At SC08, several experts organized an informal session to share information on up-and-coming solutions for expressing, managing, and executing “megajobs.” They also discussed ways of repackaging work to avoid megajobs altogether. International Science Grid This Week reports this effort and quotes Dr. von Laszewski.

We are happy to announce that we have been invited to give two presentations at the NYSGrid meeting.... more ...
We are happy to announce that this quarters enrollment of students in Dr. von Laszewski's Grid course at Rochester Institute of Technology is a record braking 15 students. In addition 2 PhD students, 5 Masters students, and 5 undergraduate students have elected to work with Dr. von Laszewski.

He has received from his students comments such as “the best course I have taken including my undergraduate institution”. Dr. von Laszewski's opinion is that it is not him that makes this possible it is the students that enthusiastically and tirelessly participate in our research efforts at RIT.

He also has been nominated for a teaching award, but unfortunately he does not qualify as he is at RIT only for one year.=

Tom Kopchak, a member of Dr. von Laszewski's Service Oriented Cyberinfrastructure Lab won the “Best in show at the Undergraduate Research Symposium at RIT (for his room)” for the presentation
  • Cluster Wall: Building a Cluster from Recycled Parts

From 62 participants 5 obtained such an award. He worked with the following group on implementing a cluster wall from recycled computer parts: Daniel Cummings, Ryan Hurley, Tom Kopchak, Alex Koroleski, Nathan Welshans, Peter Wilson, Myles Maxfield.

The students are from NSSA/CS and Mechanical Engineering and were part of an honors class by Bill Stackpole. Dr. von Laszewski commented that he is thrilled and honored to be an adviser on this activity and to initiate it. The presentation and the result can be looked at in the third floor in the honors lab.

If you need more information, please contact laszewski@gmail.com.

The project followed the educational principals of RIT and other organizations while being interdisciplinary and introducing undergraduates to research activities early in their carriers, leading to innovation
