Our cybersecurity specialist on the VarSys project, Associate Professor of Computer Science Daphne Yao, was recently recognized as a Distinguished Member of the ACM - Association for Computing Machinery! Congratulations, Daphne!

Daphne Yao recognized for outstanding scientific contributions to computing Yao is one of 49 Distinguished Members of the Association for Computing Machinery being recognized for outstanding contributions to the field of computer science. The 2018 Distinguished Members are exemplars for their peers and represent ACM’s worldwide geographic reach.

HPCwire covered Professor of Computer Science Ali Butt's work as a collaborator with first author and former Ph.D. student Ali Anwar on making key value systems work to make high-performance more nimble.

Researchers Create First-of-Its-Kind Composable Storage Platform for HPC Nov. 12, 2018 -- Large-scale, advanced high-performance computing, often called supercomputing, is essential to solving both complex and large questions.

Our cloud expert is Professor of Computer Science Ali Butt and he co-authored a paper that has the potential to fundamentally make supercomputing more nimble and scalable.

Researchers create first-of-its-kind composable storage platform for high-performance computing Large-scale, advanced high-performance computing, often called supercomputing, is essential to solving both complex and large questions. But storage platforms essential for these advanced computer systems have been stuck in a rigid framework that required users to either choose between customization...

The Virginia Tech - Department of Computer Science is on the case! Through our -funded lab, we are teaching about exascale computing and computing efficiency.

Could the world’s mightiest computers be too complicated to use? China, Japan and the US are racing to build the first exascale computer – but devising programmes clever enough to run on them is a different story

While we work to make your movie streaming experiences smoother by improving computing efficiency, our colleagues are working on making your experiences more movie-like.

Computing efficiency is one of the reasons we are able to harness the power of computing in everything from drug to discovery here on Earth to space travel. Try your hand at unlocking the Lockheed Martin Space Challenge Box for a chance to win a $10,000 scholarship.

Virginia Tech students get chance at scholarship in Challenge Box The undergraduate student who can solve the question posed by the box will win a $10,000 scholarship.

Wrestling with the research challenges and successes of a dynamic discipline like computing efficiency touches pretty much every industry you can think of, including aerospace. We're making graduates who are infinitely employable at the VarSys Lab, so check out this early semester networking opportunity.

Mark your calendars to meet Lockheed Martin on September 4th and 5th for networking, tech demos and on-the-spot hiring! Learn more here: LockheedMartinJobs.com/VT

That's right. It's all connected. AI can't happen without parallel computing and we are learning how to make it more efficient.

Management AI: Types Of Machine Learning Systems Developers know a lot about the machine learning (ML) systems they create and manage, that’s a given. However, there is a need for non-developers to have a high level understanding of the types of systems.
