    1. Blue Waters: Awesome Power, Awesome Efficiency Described as an “unrivaled national asset” the Blue Waters Supercomputer was unveiled Wednesday on the campus of the University of Illinois. The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) hosted Building the Data Center of the Future 2nd Biennial Workshop: HPC Data Centers. Blue Waters is the petascale supercomputer project in which some awesome power is matched with awesome efficiency. The HPC Frontier Set to go online some time in 2011 Blue Waters will literally set the mark for a new level of performance with an expected peak performance of 10 petaflops. Being no stranger to the frontier of computing firsts the NCSA teamed up with IBM and the Great Lakes Consortium for Petascale Computation to not only raise the HPC (High Performance Computing) bar a notch, but take data center technologies along with it.
