Barba at the NAE FOEE Symposium

Professor Barba was selected to participate in the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Frontiers of Engineering Education (FOEE) symposium 2012. Here is a reflective note she wrote after coming back from this event in October 2012. Engineering education changes slowly. At the first engineering schools in America—West Point (1819), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1828), University of Virginia (1833)—a professor lectured at... Continue »

New teraflop/s GPU cluster coming to BU

BU's College of Engineering, Center for Computational Science (CCS), and Information Systems & Technology (IS&T) announce a significant expansion to the facilities for research computing with the acquisition of a GPU-accelerated cluster. At 80 teraflop/s in peak double-precision performance, this system will be the fastest ever deployed at BU. The new computing resource was made possible by... Continue »
