Research Opportunity to Collaborate with IBM

IBM has created a 'collaboratory' in Dublin. An IBM 'collaboratory' is a laboratory where IBM researchers co-locate with a university, government, or commercial partner to share skills and resources.

IBM are now looking to the UCD research community to participate in such a collaboratory on exascale stream computing research. While high performance computing today primarily focuses on scientific applications in areas such as physics or medicine, the exascale stream research will focus on how these new powerful computing systems can be applied to solving complex business problems. The research will include both technical and applications research. IBM at this stage is concentrating on how to create an exascale computer. Exascale computing brings significant challenges to constructing a computer system of that size and this is the challenge that IBM wishes to address first.
