Andrew Kensler took the $10,000 grand prize in Mozy.com’s Coding Deathmatch. The contest consisted of three timed rounds of competition, two preliminary rounds were held online and the final round at Mozy.com’s American Fork (Utah) headquarters. Only the top eight contestants were allowed to proceed to the final round. Contestants were asked to write programs […]
Read MoreSCIJump is a computational environment or framework based on the Common Component Architecture (CCA) standard for high performance component frameworks in the scientific computing domain. The SCIJump framework builds on the SCI Institute’s SCIRun Problem Solving Environment and implements a parallel component and distributed computation architecture which can support a diverse set of component- based […]
Read MoreThursday, 01 March 2007 19:51 In 1909 the Broadman areas map was published which localized various functions of cortex. Since the beginning of the 20th century, scientists have used brain models to study the anatomy and function of the human brain. It was discovered that each part of the brain’s anatomy has specific functions for […]

Read MoreSCI graduate student Jason F. Shepherd and coauthor Carlos D. Carbonera have published a solution to Problem #27 of The Open Problems Project’s list of unresolved problems in computational geometry. The question is: Can the interior of every simply connected polyhedron whose surface is meshed by an even number of quadrilaterals be partitioned into a […]
Read MoreSteve Corbató has joined the University of Utah’s Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute as its Associate Director. The Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute has established itself as an international research leader in the areas of scientific computing, scientific visualization, and imaging, and in this new position Steve will help lead more than 100 […]
Read MoreModern problem solving environments such as SCIRun have provided scientists with the essential tools for composing complex simulations and visualizations of large scale data. The dataflow programming paradigm has made what was once a rather daunting programming endeavor into a relatively simple point and click process. By condensing the programs into nice little modules that […]
Read MoreAngiogenesis, or the formation of new blood vessels, is a critical part of tissue growth and healing processes. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of this process and how it affects the perfused tissues is fundamental to many issues in medicine. For example, control of angiogenesis could help bones and tissues to heal faster or with better […]
Read MoreNew Method Can Identify What Genes Do, Test Drugs’ Safety May 4, 2006 — Utah and Texas researchers combined miniature medical CT scans with high-tech computer methods to produce detailed three-dimensional images of mouse embryos – an efficient new method to test the safety of medicines and learn how mutant genes cause birth defects or […]
Read MoreCompeting individually in the Mozy Code Deathmatch, SCI developers McKay Davis, Michael Callahan and Bryan Worthen represented three of the eight finalists and shared in the grand prize of $10,000. This unique coding contest was conducted with two online preliminary rounds and a final round held at Mozy.com‘s American Fork (Utah) office. The first round, […]
