Computing in Science and Engineering (CiSE) magazine is a joint publication of the IEEE Computer Society and the American Institute of Physics. It covers computational science and engineering research for a broad range of technical fields. Our FAQ provides more information about this title, but we also recently produced a CiSE Publication Handbook.

Current Issue

November/December: Novel Architectures

Features November 2008 Guest Editors' Introduction High-Performance Computing Applications on Novel Architectures Volodymyr Kindratenko, George K. Thiruvathukal, and Steven Gottlieb As chip designers struggle to increase the speed of conventional microprocessors, the scientific computing community is turning its attention to alternative architectures that utilize computational accelerators to improve the application performance. This special issue of CiSE examines several examples of computationally demanding applications implemented on novel high-performance computing architectures and points out the challenges and opportunities that these new architectures bring up.

Departments November 2008 The First Word Ave Atque Vale Norman Chonacky Editor-in-chief Norman Chonacky's swan song describes the past four years of his tenure helming the magazine and welcomes in the new editor in chief, Isabel Beichl. November 2008 News Coming Soon: Research in a Cloud Pam Frost Gorder Graphic processing units (GPU) provide an impressive amount of computer power at an unprecedented low cost. The author describes the main features of HOOMD (highly optimized object oriented molecular dynamics), a software package that makes molecular dynamics simulations on GPUs available to general users.
