A new Georgia Tech initiative is taking on the multidisciplinary challenges involved in creating and running energy efficient data centers. The effort--dubbed Green IT--considers power consumption across the entire “energy stack,” ranging from the power consumed by multi-core platforms, to the board and rack levels, to the entire data center.

The cost of supercomputing is coming down, and researchers like Associate Professor George Biros of Computational Science and Engineering are developing software that can compare thousands of medical scans to detect anomalies in things like heart and brain function. The problem is getting the scans. "Medical schools don't make this information available," Biros said. Source: The New York Times

At its core, augmented reality is all about changing our view of the world by merging our environmental surroundings with digital data and media. “The key is that the virtual content be registered (or aligned) with the right parts of the physical world,” says Blair MacIntyre, associate professor in Interactive Computing and director of the school’s Augmented Environments Lab.
