No magic wandsVictor Jongeneel leads the bioinformatics efforts of NCSA and the University of Illinois. He recently spoke with Access' Barbara Jewett about what bioinformatics is—and is not. 
Tantalizing glimpsesThe NCSA visualization tradition continues with the Blue Waters project. 
Computing, cultural heritage, and moreIllinois-Cyprus collaboration to establish a supercomputing center, and other expanded digital research capabilities, in the Eastern Mediterranean is now bearing fruit for both partners. 
Behind the scenes of NCSA: Work for bandwidthWhat would it be like to come to work and not have a functioning network? The NCSA Network Engineering group ensures that doesn't happen. Team members Tim Boerner, Nick Buraglio, Paul Wefel, and David Wheeler see that NCSA staff, computing resources, and researchers are served by networks that are fast, reliable, and adaptable. 
Deep and wideAn Illinois team uses NCSA resources to help humans understand their environment. 
Fellowships support collaborationsSeven researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have been selected to pursue collaborative projects with NCSA. 
Campus Champions advance researchKnowledgeable XSEDE volunteers serve as a source of information, guidance, and support for their institutions. 
AVL helps capture 'Dynamic Earth'An NCSA team creates data-driven scientific visualizations for a new immersive digital fulldome production. 
News & notesNCSA planning 500 petabytes of storage capacity · Forge decommissioned in September ACCESS MAGAZINE - SPRING 2012 
NCSA 2015Every five years NCSA undertakes the development of a new strategic plan. The strategic planning process gives NCSA leadership and staff an opportunity to critically examine our activities during the past five years as well as look forward to where research, education and technology are going in the next five years. 
Serving the world of scienceAlan Blatecky, head of the National Science Foundation's Office of Cyberinfrastructure, recently chatted with Access' Barbara Jewett about the new visions at OCI and NSF. 
A moving questionNCSA and XSEDE aid an Indiana University researcher studying the migration of massive planets in protoplanetary disks. Understanding how planets shift is one of the first steps in the quest to discover other life in the universe. 
Jump-starting the hydrogen economyWith computing resources from XSEDE, engineers at Ohio University explore ammonia as a source of hydrogen for tomorrow's fuel cells. 
Behind the scenes of NCSA: Image minersThe Image, Spatial, and Data Analysis Group (ISDA) conducts research and development involving image and video data. Sifting through the state of the art in computer vision the ISDA group applies research to real world problems while striving to build robust multipurpose software to serve a variety of community needs. 
Timing is everythingNCSA's GPU machines allow researchers to improve the fluid dynamics codes used for rotorcraft design. 
Containing multitudesNCSA is helping humanities and social science scholars analyze troves of data about worlds both real and virtual, shedding light on human behavior. 
Blue Waters Early Science SystemSix research teams have begun using the first phase of the Blue Waters sustained-petascale supercomputer to study some of the most challenging problems in science and engineering, from supernovae to climate change to the molecular mechanism of HIV infection. 
Space JunkNCSA's Advanced Visualization Lab created data-driven scientific visualizations for the new film Space Junk 3D," which focuses on the growing collection of debris orbiting the earth.
