There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

(March 19, 2007) - A paper co-authored by College of Computing at Georgia Tech and Oak Ridge National Laboratory Joint Faculty Member Jeffrey Vetter titled "Using FPGA Devices to Accelerate Biomolecular Simulations" has been selected for the cover of Computer Magazine.
In the paper, the authors use a performance model to analyze the potential of simulating large-scale biological systems faster than many cluster-based supercomputing platforms.
Computer Magazine is the flagship publication if the IEEE Computer Society and has a hardcopy circulation of approximately 90,000 subscribers.
The paper is available to IEEE Digital Library Subscribers or can be purchased online: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MC.2007.108
