Patent Infringement Damages
Patent infringement-related damages are typically calculated in one of two ways, and those calculations can lead to very large numbers, but recent court decisions have significantly limited their size. The Web extra at https://youtu.be/UJRCtoXP210 is an ...
32 & 16 Years Ago
A summary of articles published in Computer 32 and 16 years ago.
Scientific Grand Challenges: Toward Exascale Supercomputing and Beyond
Scientific frontiers--astrophysics, whole genome sequencing, tectonic modeling, and so on--demand faster and bigger computers to analyze an avalanche of data and advance our knowledge. A quest for answers to these grand scientific challenges is the main ...
Big Ensemble Data Assimilation in Numerical Weather Prediction
Powerful computers and advanced sensors enable precise simulations of the atmospheric state, requiring data assimilation to connect simulations to real-world sensor data using statistical mathematics and dynamical systems theory. Numerical weather ...

As the scale of quantum molecular dynamics simulations has grown in time and system size, QMD codes must increase intranode and instruction-level parallelism to take advantage of emerging supercomputer architectures. The authors present one promising ...
The TOP500 List and Progress in High-Performance Computing
For more than two decades, the TOP500 list has enjoyed incredible success as a metric for supercomputing performance and as a source of data for identifying technological trends. The project's editors reflect on its usefulness and limitations for guiding ...
Using GPUs to Enable Simulation with Computational Gravitational Dynamics in Astrophysics
Optimizations for individual N-body techniques allow the simulation of collisonal or collisionless systems, but not both together. Hybrid code running on GPUs meets this requirement, and enabled the efficient and accurate simulation of 11 interacting ...

High-Throughput Geocomputational Workflows in a Grid Environment
A grid-computing platform facilitates geocomputational workflow composition to process big geosciences data while fully using idle resources to accelerate processing speed. An experiment with aerosol optical depth retrieval from satellite data shows a 25 ...
The Dystory of Ahmed's Clock
A 14-year-old student from Irving, Texas, took his "invented" clock to school and touched off a withering blast of media-induced hysteria.
Deciding When and How to Move HPC Jobs to the Cloud
Now used for high-performance computing applications, the cloud presents a challenge for users who must decide, based on efficiency and cost-effectiveness, when and how to run jobs on cloud-based resources versus when to use on-premise clusters. The ...
We Can Build the Future
Merging storytelling and making, Arizona State University's Center for Science and the Imagination is encouraging people to build the future by assembling and reimagining the pieces of the future already surrounding us.
Expanding Continuous Authentication with Mobile Devices
More sophisticated methods of detecting user interaction with computers and smartphones are needed for better security and usability. Multimodal continuous authentication is one of the more promising authentication methods on the horizon.
Insanity, Hiring, and the Software Industry
Software project and product outcomes strongly suggest that the software industry still suffers from dismal performance. A brief survey of job postings reveals a significant gap between what hiring managers of software developer positions are asking for ...
Absence Privacy Loss
In the emerging Internet of Things era, an adversary can use ubiquitous computing devices and sensors to determine a person's absence from one place while predicting his or her presence at another.
SE 2014: Curriculum Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Software Engineering
Revised curriculum guidelines help university faculty create or update undergraduate software engineering programs.
Understanding the Human Condition through Survey Informatics
Survey informatics leverages two separate but vital areas of research--survey methodology and computer science and engineering--to advance the state of the art in each and improve our understanding of the human experience.
