Computer Science
Speedup within the Parallel Mathematica Toolkit; A study that observes the differences between using the supplied Wolfram Research Linear Algebra set of functions, and using MPI to handle the Linear Algebra computations using an optimized BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subset) implementation. This study is being conducted on a closed network of 16 homogeneus machines in a master/slave configuration. Conducted with the help of Leviathon, the UISSP's 16 node Pentium 4 Cluster.
Current Results can be found here.
Biological Science
The W. M. Keck Dynamic Image Analysis Facility at the University of Iowa is developing on on-line database of the seven most studied embryos in embryology. This project, called 'The Embryo', will contain over one hundred different parametric data sets for each embryo, representing the entire process of embryogenesis. This project will be available online, free to the public. The goal of this project will be to provide computer assisted 4-D-reconstructions of these embryos, and provide it as a resource to researchers and educators.
