FlashLite: a high performance machine for data intensive science: The 21st century has been described as the century of data. Experts predict an exponential growth in the amount of data that will be captured, generated and archived. Australia has made significant progress towards addressing some of the opportunities and infrastructure challenges posed by such rapid increase in data volumes. However, these investments do not address the growing need to process data. Conventional supercomputers are unable to meet the challenges of the data explosion. The large gap in latency and bandwidth between the processor, memory and disk subsystems means that the processor is often idle waiting to fetch data. This project will build a platform focussed on data intensive science.Read moreRead less

Summary
Data Grid -- Access Layer. Vast increases in computing power and the arrival of new scientific instruments are contributing to the so-called data deluge of the 21st century. Accessing and archiving these data is essential to research. While the underlying computing and network requirements are well resourced, data access has been relatively neglected in Australia. A continuing problem in Australian research communities is the absence of coordinated access to digital storage resources. In many ca ....Data Grid -- Access Layer. Vast increases in computing power and the arrival of new scientific instruments are contributing to the so-called data deluge of the 21st century. Accessing and archiving these data is essential to research. While the underlying computing and network requirements are well resourced, data access has been relatively neglected in Australia. A continuing problem in Australian research communities is the absence of coordinated access to digital storage resources. In many cases computational and experimental data are stored on ad-hoc resources, such as local university servers, PC disc drives, and are not generally accessible. The central goal of this proposal is to provide access to an integrated scientific data storage capacity for Australia.Read moreRead less

A continuing problem in Australian research communities is the absence of coordinated digital storage resources. In many cases computational and experimental data are stored on ad-hoc resources, such as local university servers, PC disc drives, CDs, or DVDs, and are not generally accessible. The central goal of this proposal is to provide a long-term, integrated scientific data storage capacity for Australia. Read moreRead less

Summary
Measuring interference from prior memories using experience sampling. The project aims to better understand the causes of forgetting in recognition memory. This project will measure participants' experiences using smartphone technology for four weeks before a recognition memory experiment. Similarities between the images in the experiment and images in prior experience can be used to fully specify all interference components within a computational model of recognition memory, leading to a comple ....Measuring interference from prior memories using experience sampling. The project aims to better understand the causes of forgetting in recognition memory. This project will measure participants' experiences using smartphone technology for four weeks before a recognition memory experiment. Similarities between the images in the experiment and images in prior experience can be used to fully specify all interference components within a computational model of recognition memory, leading to a complete model of recognition memory. Better understanding the causes of forgetting in recognition memory could show how interference contributes to memory impairments in ageing, and ultimately Alzheimer’s and other clinical disorders.Read moreRead less
