The Death Knell For The Grid?
Well, the title comes not from me, but from International Science Grid This Week. It is in response to Amazon’s announcement that it will be providing high-performance compute services. Readers of my earlier posts will see that one of Amazon’s … Continue reading
So How Much Computing Should An Astronomer Learn?
I was asked this by a colleague after last week’s post on why astronomers have not taken to cloud computing. So I thought this week I would give my answer to this question. What I think astronomers need to learn … Continue reading
Why Don’t You Use The Cloud?
One of the topics that came up at coffee at the recent SPIE was why astronomers are not using the cloud very much. I decided to ask some of my colleagues this very question. Among the answers: “What’s the cloud?” … Continue reading
CANFAR: Integrating Cyberinfrastructure for Astronomy
While at the SPIE Meeting in San Diego, CA this week, I learned all about a fascinating project from a talk given by my colleague Severin Gaudet (of the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre, CADC). The project is called CANFAR, the … Continue reading
