DOE’s ESnet Engineers Help Pioneer Multi-Network Traffic Monitor
A consortium of academic and federal lab engineers are building a framework and an associated set of software tools that can monitor how efficiently data moves across multiple networks. Called Performance Service Oriented Network (perfSONAR), it will, among other things, automatically determine problems on networks (alerts) and to automatically diagnose and pin-point network issues.

Cray XT Jaguar Supercomputer Achieves Petaflop
DOE’s Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility is home to the world’s first petaflop supercomputer dedicated to open scientific research.
The new petaflops machine will make it possible to address some of the most challenging scientific problems in areas such as climate modeling, renewable energy, materials science, fusion and combustion. Annually, 80 percent of Jaguar's resources are allocated through DOE's Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program, a competitively selected, peer reviewed process open to researchers from universities, industry, government and non-profit organizations.
