IBM Builds Computer Grid For Breast Cancer Diagnosis And Screening

Tags:
portals

Overview Built with open standards, the University of Pennsylvania Grid is a massive distributed computer that delivers computing resources as a utility-like service over the Internet. Enabling up to thousands of hospitals to store mammograms in digital form, the Grid will provide analytical tools that help physicians diagnose individual cases and identify cancer "clusters" in the population. It will also give authorized medical personnel near-instantaneous access to patient records and reduce the need for expensive film X-rays. The system combines IBM e-Server UNIX and Intel processor-based systems with IBM's DB2 Universal Database to create a uniquely powerful solution.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: A sea of bits

Then of course we have the sensor networks built into our transport, utility supply, infrastructure, climate monitoring and other systems. It will also be possible to record every conversation and action through personal and wearable devices, not...

Sun pieces utility jigsaw together

Most computing in the Sun Grid will take place on servers using AMD's Opteron processor. Most development today is done on single machines, but data centres increasingly are populated by clusters of low-end servers.

Criminal IT: What you can do to help the fight against cybercrime

The modified timestamp records the last time at which any data is copied into the clusters which form the file. There are, however, a variety of problems that need to be overcome before the computer records - from whatever source - can be presented...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change.
