| Titan supercomputer debuts for open scientific research |
|
 |
|
The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility is home to Titan, the world's most powerful supercomputer for open science with a theoretical peak performance exceeding 20 petaflops (quadrillion calculations per second). That kind of computational capability, helped by Nvidia GPUs, is on par with each of the world's 7 billion people being able to carry out 3 million calculations per second.
Forecasting for weather like this week's "Frankenstorm" may become a lot more accurate with the help of the Department of Energy's Titan supercomputer, a system that launched this month for open research development. |

| Google Trekker goes to the Grand Canyon |
|
 |
|
You might remember Google's unveiling this spring of the Street View Trekker, a seeming cross between a backpack and Van de Graaff generator that lets the mapping team produce 360-degree imagery where even trikes dare not tread. The portable camera ball is just going on its first trip, and Google has chosen the most natural destination for a novice tourist -- the Grand Canyon, of course. Staffers with Trekkers are currently walking trails along the South Rim of the canyon. |

| 32 bit fast-pulse counters in compact IP 67 Box |
|
 |
|
The EP1518 EtherCAT Box integrates numerous functions in a single box: 32 bit counters, digital inputs with sensor diagnosis and adjustable filter characteristics. The combination of these functions in just one module enables flexible use and also reduces logistics expenditure.
The EP1518 encompasses eight digital 24 V DC inputs as well as an EtherCAT input port and an EtherCAT output port for linking to the process level. The EtherCAT Box counts fast pulses with a counting frequency of up to 1 kHz. The integrated data pre-processing enables the counting pulses to be counted reliably, independent of the control cycle time. |
