SC07 Announces “Disruptive Technologies†Showcase Winners
Exhibits will be on display during conference
Reno, Nev. --- For a second year, the annual Supercomputing Conference will feature an exhibit hall of “disruptive technologies†to highlight innovations in high performance computing. This display, formerly called Exotic Technologies, premiered at SC06 in Tampa, Fla. At SC07, this event is called Disruptive Technologies and will feature an exhibit area where researchers will display and demonstrate their new technologies to attendees. “This exhibit allows people who use high-performance computing to experience technologies that have the potential to change the landscape of hardware and software dramatically. In the next two decades, we may see some of these technologies used in every supercomputer,†said SC 07 Disruptive Technologies Chair Jeffrey Vetter of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Georgia Institute of Technology. This year, the Disruptive Technologies Committee selected featured technologies from a large pool of submissions. The winning entries, which will comprise the SC 07 Disruptive Technologies Showcase are:
• Superconducting Quantum Computing System, D-Wave;
• Many-Core Chip System Software and Logic Co-Verification, ETI and IBM;
• High Performance Optical Connectivity Based on CMOS Photonics Technology, Luxtera;
• Non-Volatile Random Access Memory using carbon nanotubes, Nantero; and,
• Optical Printed Circuit Board Technology and 200+200Gbps Transceiver, IBM.
The Disruptive Technologies display will be in Exhibit Hall 1B of the Reno-Sparks Convention Center from Monday, Nov. 12-Thursday, Nov. 15.

• Important: The CCT Colloquium Series has returned and will take place each Friday at 2 p.m. in Johnston 338. Last year, these lectures took place at 3 p.m., but the time has changed to accommodate other meetings. Shantenu Jha is in charge of the speaker line-up. If you have a speaker wish list or concerns with the lecture time change, please send it to Shantenu at sjha@cct.lsu.edu.
• David Psenicka, CCT post-doctoral researcher, will lecture on “Computer Music Composition and Interactive Art†on Monday, Oct. 1 at 10 a.m. in Johnston 338.
• Ravi Vadapalli, Ph.D., will give a special guest lecture on “Deploying Regional Cyberinfrastructure for Strategic Application Development and Support†on Monday, Oct. 1 at 11 a.m. in Johnston 338. Vadapalli is a research scientist at Texas Tech University's High-Performance Computing Center and also is a candidate for CCT's CyD IT Analyst position.
