Better, faster - and easier to use

Article Abstract:

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is investigating in the development of next-generation supercomputers that would be shared by industry, university scientists, as well as by spies and weapons designers. DARPA has awarded its third and final phase of High Productivity Computing Systems program to IBM and Cray to develop machines that would be about 10 times faster than the most powerful existing supercomputers.

Software shakes up schizophrenia diagnosis

Article Abstract:

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia believe that computer analysis of brain images can diagnose schizophrenia in patients, possibly even before symptoms arise. The analysis is able to classify new individuals as schizophrenic or healthy with 81% accuracy and it is ready to be used alongside clinical histories and interviews to help diagnose schizophrenia.
