University of California at Berkeley and IBM to construct a new digital newspapers center

By Zou cheaponsale

University of California, San Diego (UCSD) investigators today broadcast designs to use the most complicated assessment all over the world, one server - IBM mainframe Systemz digital newspapers to construct a new campus center, to evolve the next lifetime of virtual worlds, multiplayer online high-fidelity digital sport and movies. IBM Shared University Research Grants through the task (SUR), the University of California at San Diego to help conceive the next lifetime of new digital newspapers center. In supplement to a kind of peripheral gear and auxiliary support, IBM's accolade furthermore encompasses the business values the newest Cell Broadband Engine (Cell / BE) of enterprise-class server Systemz10EC.

IBM Systems and Technology Division, IBM Fellow, vice leader and BernieMeyerson said: "The scholars will be adept to up-to-date by travelling to IBM's blended computing schemes, seem blazing pace and mighty functions. Now the University of California, San Diego can relish the scholars conceived to rendezvous the next lifetime of virtual world submissions of security characteristics and 'special engine' (specialtyengines), to support the mass of concurrent users simultaneously share the identical environment. "

University of California, San Diego, Professor of Visual Arts SheldonBrown said: "We hope to facilitate the development of the next generation of digital media.through greatly enrich the user experience of virtual worlds, we believe that there will be games and movies such as such as digital media creation and the Internet shared experimental environment. With the virtual world and digital cinema perfection of the visual arts and the application of more sophisticated culture, the development of these two categories will be more integration and more diverse. "

Brown and his UCSD Experimental Game Lab Team member will be IBMSystemz server, based on the development of the Museum of Brown configure the "city expansion (ScalableCity)", to create and run a virtual world, and can then gradually expand into the potential for thousands of concurrent 7 24 hours the user experience of the environment. And "Second Life," "The Sims" and other games as well as the "World of Warcraft" This large-scale online multiplayer role-playing game compared to, the user can feel a richer visual experience, a diversified range of motion behavior of the virtual world.

At present, even though the virtual world carries hundreds of thousands of users and objective listeners, but the deficiency of computing power is constricted by the customer understanding all this. When the customer in the virtual world to another territory, are in item cluster in the derived worth of the amendment to the other server nodes, so their complete understanding of the virtual world will become fragmented.

Brown said, IBM mainframe Systemz completely rendezvous the future desires of the virtual world. Deal with the mass of the scheme capability and IBMCell / BE multi-processor expertise, a blend of intensive computing power, you can convey real-time interaction for the client of the virtual world experience.

Brown further explained: "We can put IBM mainframe as a cluster of several hundred computers, you can put it as a super computer. We can deal with the capacity of storage and a balanced optimization, to change the virtual the world to experience the form and status. "

Although the IBM mainframe can improvement the virtual world and the real-time replication, but the client know-how or because of their use to get access to the virtual world of the individual computer (that is, the so-called "client-side) and be limited. To this end, the University of California, San Diego Researchers are utilising multi-core processors for purchaser computing trial, with a outlook to searching a answer to this difficulty for the trial, encompassing a multi-core processor, code-named Larrabee of Intel chips, the merchandise will be early in 2010 simultaneously with the processor IBMCell market. In supplement, Brown furthermore worked with three other universities have been the National Science Foundation (NationalScienceFoundation) support for the groundwork of the hybrid multi-core computing study center study.

"Home of a computer portion was implanted in several processor-intensive, as if set 4 Units, Units 8, 16 and even 32 on a computer, the computer has become a mighty computing capacity." Brown said, "but It furthermore needed to advance the present computing power of 60 times, only sufficient to double-check real-time to supply users with the virtual world experience. Faced with this position, we should not turn a unseeing eye and permit the client to delay for this. "

Brown's team will continue to explore the use of high bandwidth data lines to the backbone of the new ways to access the network. They are now working with Peking University to study at San Diego and Beijing jointly visit the virtual world technology.

University of California, San Diego wish to appeal other partners to be adept to add the new issue of the next lifetime of digital newspapers study center. Brown said: "The most basic way, we should suppose that the next lifetime of digital newspapers will be the development. Calculations and the rudimentary structure of a foremost innovation in diverse types will sway prospects for the development of digital media? Virtual world and the number is the two new videos of digital media. We can be both unaligned of each other as persons, but furthermore can be utilised as integration, a blend of interrelated. "

At the center was first established, will be founded on the living connection with the Hollywood studios and the assessment and the Arts Research Center (CRCA), California Association of Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) and San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) for their support, focusing on the development of a new stage for digital movie production. IBM mainframe is now put in the SDSC, a exceptional lightweight through a direct conduit to attach to the digital movies gear Calit2, and the adoption of high-bandwidth attachment to the Internet and international optical fiber network.

As super computing and high-bandwidth fiber-optic web of the pioneers of the paddock, the California Association of Telecommunications and Information Technology Director LarrySmarr said: "As the broadcasting and the public surroundings, has a gigantic customer of the virtual world is turning into more and more important. Calit2 will CineGrid through ventures, is dedicated to pioneering digital cinema. We trust that the Center will be a noteworthy deepening of the assorted sorts of digital broadcasting art practice. "

San Diego Supercomputer Center FranBerman Officer, said: "Technology and the boundaries between art is slowly made unclear, to 'the habitation can be broadened (ScalabelCity)' for the collaborative acing for the surroundings approves this trend. We are enthralled that the Center Units be competent to manager is found here, but in addition very awarded to be competent to join in this valued project. "

Brown said: "I will use this virtual world as the development of ultra-high-fidelity digital movies stage, through the movie, groups, actors and even one by one implementation, the virtual prototype of the world movies will supply a new way of creation. Film output is furthermore will become more fast and more flexible. - 21396
