| IU celebrates launch of three new high performance computing systems |
|
With the launch of three new high performance computing (HPC) resources at Indiana University, researchers could reach breakthroughs in preventive care for genetic diseases sooner than ever before. From cloud-based, on-demand data analysis, to faster processing times for large-scale computations, each new resource will offer a breadth of applications, making it easier and quicker for researchers to reach their goals.

| Summer Olympic Games visualized on Science on a Sphere |
Starting in 1896, the modern Olympic Games have grown from 14 participating countries to 204 in 2012 (with a record 207 participating in 2016). Cyberinfrastructure for Digital Humanities group (CyberDH) and the Advanced Visualization Lab (AVL) have created a dataset that visualizes the history of the Summer Olympic Games. It can be viewed in the CIB and is available world-wide on NOAA's Science on a Sphere Users Collaborative Network.
