The Promises and Challenges of Exascale Computing; Global Surveillance System Aims to Prevent Pandemics

View newsletter in a browser window. The Promises and Challenges of Exascale Computing Salvatore Salamone recently wrote about the benefits that will be realized when the next generation of supercomputers become available later this decade. He noted that exascale computers will improve simulations, allow for more realistic modeling of complex natural processes, and offer better insight into the underlying science of those processes.

Unlike charging cars at home at night, when electricity use is low, these cars will need electricity during peak power demand periods. One way to address these potential problems is to use a combination of intelligent software and grid modernization. The idea involves smart meters gathering real-time information about charging, analyze the charging load distribution throughout a city, and then using additional intelligence to balance loads across geographically dispersed substations.
