SGI selects UB as one of three sites to participate in "next wave of supercomputing" A new era in supercom-puting has arrived at UB, one of just three sites in the world selected by SGI to beta-test Intel's next-generation chip, the new Itanium processor. The other sites are the Ohio Supercomputing Center in Columbus and the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom.
The Center for Applied Technologies in Education (CATE) once again has proven that where there's technology, there's a way, successfully executing the ground-breaking semester of a cultural-exchange program three years in the making that links—via interactive video—secondary students in Western New York and Costa Rica. The project, dubbed Project Loop, is the first of its kind both for UB and Central America, and the only program as such currently taking place in the United States.
