App Extravaganza
In 1983 the Casio PF-15115-36 was the first PDA ever created. A quarter of a century later we can
hardly imagine life without PDAs such as the Blackberry and iPhone. Of course over the years the
functionality of these devices has greatly increased and opened the door for lots of little
applications. CBS Sunday Morning has now taken a look into these apps and their great importance
in our everyday lives. Check out the link below.
The App Revolution Will be Mobilized

SDSU Student works at Argonne National Laboratory
|
This summer SDSU student Britteny Bullis got the experience of a lifetime with an internship at
Argonne National Laboratory. Her research project on Model Mapping to Higher Dimensional Networks
provided an opportunity to work with one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, Blue Gene/P.
Using her knowledge from SDSU, Bullis developed a parallel solution to solving a two-dimensional Poisson
equation and then scaled it to run on the 16,384 processors of the Blue Gene/P system. She then
ran several different trials of mapping techniques to determine which layout maximized the algorithm’s
performance. “I was able to gain valuable real world experience while working with distinguished
researchers,” said Bullis of the experience.
