IBM's New Supercomputer to the Rescue
 
Boosting Weather Reseearch

There's a nice article over on Science Daily (
NCAR's "Blue Sky" Supercomputer Technology To Spur Climate, Weather Research) which looks into IBM's new supercomputer, and how it can have a huge impact on weather research.

I've always argued that there's usually good ways of optimising problems such that you don't need huge amount of power. This remains true, but in this case it would most likely would cost a lot of time and effort, whereas the use of IBM's new solution will allow researchers to get immediate results with much less hassle. It's also ideal for such huge amounts of data.
