By Joab Jackson The Graph 500 ranking of the most powerful supercomputers at handling Big Data workloads has been introduced to complement the Top500 HPC list. So while a new Cray supercomputer took first place on the Top500, it was another machine, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s Sequoia, that proved to be the most adept at processing data intensive workloads on the Graph 500.

By Joab Jackson, U.S. Correspondent, IDG News Service The Top500 is no longer the only ranking game in town: make way for the Graph 500, which tracks how well supercomputers handle big-data-styled workloads.

(AFP Photo / Nicolas Asfouri) © AFP The Pentagon will soon be prying through the personal correspondence and computer files of US military personnel, thanks to a $9-million program that will put soldiers’ private emails under Uncle Sam’s microscope.

By Trent Nouveau The Pentagon is kicking of a new initiative to monitor military emails in an attempt to detect insider threats. Backed by DARPA, the project seeks to create “a suite of algorithms [capable of] detecting multiple types of insider threats by analyzing massive amounts of data – including email, text messages and file transfers – for unusual activity.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has named four Georgia Tech professors as 2011 Fellows. AAAS is the world’s largest general scientific society, and the election as a Fellow is an honor bestowed upon AAAS members by their peers.

The Pentagon is currently working to prevent another WikiLeaks situation within the department. Wired.com recently reported a group of military funded scientists are developing a sophisticated computer system that can scan and interpret every key stroke, log-in and uploaded files over the Pentagon’s networks.

A project funded through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency would identify the most serious insider threats to security by scanning all user e-mail messages, text messages, logins, file transfers and Web browsing on military networks, reports Katie Drummond at Wired’s Danger Room blog.

At insideHPC, we are pleased to announce that David Bader is our latest Rock Star of HPC. “While HPC tends to focus on compute-intensive problems, Big Data challenges require novel architectures for data-intensive computing.

“We never saw it coming.” Those words often fall from the lips of victims or witnesses to incidents when a person takes the law into their own hands. However, when doing the forensics in the case, a trail often exists that if anyone noticed, it could have possibly provided enough time to intervene and prevent an incident.

Researchers at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Army Research Office, and Georgia Tech are developing new approaches for identifying insider threats before a data breach occurs.

Researchers from Georgia Tech are helping to create a suite of algorithms that can detect multiple types of insider threats by analyzing massive amounts of data for unusual activity. The Georgia Tech research team includes (left-right) Erica Briscoe, Andy Register, David A.

Call it yet another biological gold rush. When Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859, scientists began working in earnest to document the world’s plant and animal species and build a phylogeny—a map of how all those species relate to each other. More scientists came to the discipline in the 1980s, when automated DNA sequencing offered a new way to classify species and new applications for phylogenetics. Today, the newest prospectors in the gold rush are those with enough expertise in computing to connect all that genetic data in a meaningful way. The goal is the same as it was 150 years ago: build the ultimate family tree.
