IBM’s latest announcement probably won’t get us any closer to securing our very own in-house version of Watson , but the firm is boasting a new line of Power7 products that includes an upgraded version of the supercomputer’s server. First up are the BladeCenter PS703 and PS704, sporting 16 cores and 32 cores, respectively — the PS704 touts a 60 percent increase in speed over its predecessors. The Power 750, the same system that gave Watson the stuff to slaughter those humans on Jeopardy! , is getting an upgrade that supports as many as 32 cores and can run up to 128 simultaneous threads, while the Power 755 offers up high-performance computing with 32 cores of its own. The cheapest version of the Power 750 Express rings in at about $30,000. So, no, we won’t be battling Watson in a Jeopardy! Home Edition showdown anytime soon, but we’re happy to see that our favorite supercomputer could be even smarter — or at the very least, faster — the next time it shows up on the boob tube. Full PR after the break.

April 12, 2011 No CommentOf course, the energy industry hacks (and T. Boone Pickens) will be out in force to refute this, and we’ll all just pretend it never happened: Cornell University professors will soon publish research that concludes natural gas produced with a drilling method called “hydraulic fracturing” contributes to global warming as much as coal, or even more. The conclusion is explosive because natural gas enjoys broad political support – including White House backing – due to its domestic abundance and lower carbon dioxide emissions when burned than other fossil fuels. Cornell Prof. Robert Howarth, however, argues that development of gas from shale rock formations produced through hydraulic fracturing – dubbed “fracking” – brings far more methane emissions than conventional gas production. Enough, he argues, to negate the carbon advantage that gas has over coal and oil when they’re burned for energy, because methane is such a potent greenhouse gas. “The [greenhouse gas] footprint for shale gas is greater than that for conventional gas or oil when viewed on any time horizon, but particularly so over 20 years. Compared to coal, the footprint of shale gas is at least 20% greater and perhaps more than twice as great on the 20-year horizon and is comparable when compared over 100 years,” states the upcoming study from Howarth, who is a professor of ecology and environmental biology, and other Cornell researchers.
