ESnet Helps Distribute LHC Data
 ESnet helps researchers seeking the Origins of Matter. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will produce an enormous amount of data and in the forefront of providing researchers access to that data is ESnet. ESnet foresaw this data challenge years ago and developed ESnet 4, a new large-scale science data transport network with enough bandwidth to transport the expected massive amounts of data.

INCITE Research Holds Promise for
Treatment of Parkinson's Disease
At least half a million people in the U.S. are believed to suffer from Parkinson’s and about 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke reports. A research team has performed a detailed computer simulation on how certain proteins damage cell membranes and create pores, which in the case of Parkinson's disease, can lead debilitating systems that worsen over time. The research simulation, which generated a promising lead for a treatment, was performed with a grant of 1.2 million processor hours on the Blue Gene/P at DOE's Argonne National Laboratory through the ASCR Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program.

SciDAC's FastBit Wins R&D 100 Award
 FastBit, an indexing technology software tool for data analyses or data mining, was selected by an independent judging panel and editors of R&D Magazine as one of the 100 most technologically significant products introduced into the marketplace over the past year. FastBit, currently funded by ASCR though its SciDAC program, was developed by the Scientific Data Management (SDM) Research Group at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
