Without more investment in high-speed fibre broadband, Australia's competitiveness will suffer, according to academic Internet service provider Australian Academic and Research Network (AARNet).
A research collaboration between La Trobe University's Centre for Technology Infusion (CTI), Peregrine Semiconductor Australia (PSA) and the CSIRO's Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) have come up with a new chip design they hope will be integrated into the world's largest radio telescope.
CSIRO's new Terabyte Science Project is aimed at helping science and business cope with masses of data.
Distributed computing, which harnesses the power of multiple CPUs, grew out of scientists’ and academics’ needs for processing power, but it is rapidly developing commercial applications. ZDNet Australia examines the power grid.
A cluster of 240 Intel CPUs at Swinburne University of Technology will be among the world's 50 fastest computers and only the second system in Australia capable of performing one trillion floating-point operations per second.
Vying for prime position in outer space, Australian scientists hope to secure one of the largest radio telescope projects to observe the universe.
