| Video game tech used to steer cockroaches on autopilot Jun 25th 2013, 16:12 Researchers are using video game technology to remotely control cockroaches on autopilot, with a computer steering the cockroach through a controlled environment. The researchers are using the technology to track how roaches respond to the remote control, with the goal of developing ways that roaches on autopilot can be used to map dynamic environments -- such as collapsed buildings. |  | Programming model for supercomputers of the future Jun 25th 2013, 11:35 The demand for even faster, more effective, and also energy-saving computer clusters is growing in every sector. The new asynchronous programming model GPI from Fraunhofer ITWM might become a key building block towards realizing the next generation of supercomputers. | | Programming model for supercomputers of the future Jun 25th 2013, 11:35 The demand for even faster, more effective, and also energy-saving computer clusters is growing in every sector.

While this stereotype is inaccurate, it still has a chilling effect on women pursuing a qualification in computer science, according to a new article. However, when this image is downplayed in the print media, women express more interest in further education in computer science. | |
