NASA signs up supercomputing support

NASA has signed a deal with Computer Sciences Corp. for the provision of supercomputing support over the next decade.

The deal is initially for two years, with eight annual options, and could be worth up to $597 million if all the options are taken up by the U.S. space agency.

CSC plans to provide support services to NASA's Advanced Supercomputing Division at the Ames Research Center, the research lab in Silicon Valley that operates some of the most advanced and powerful supercomputers in the world.

The deal will also provide support--as well as high-performance computing research--for the NASA Center for Computational Sciences at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md..

CSC has been working with NASA for about 40 years.

Tom Anderson, president of CSC's North American public-sector division, said the company is pleased to be helping advance the agency's "mission in pioneering the future of space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research."

Tim Ferguson of Silicon.com reported from London.

Environmental Socialist Money Grubbs

This Global Warming Gambit is actually the result of the sun getting hotter.

This is just a lot of creeping Bolsheviks? inventing a million and ten reasons to raise taxes, over-regulate and constrain economic growth.

Haven't seen any hurricanes lately.

Now even the use of grain to make fuel is adversely affecting our economy with higher dairy prices.

We are not going to let the socialist deceivers take apart our freedom and destroy democracy in America.

We don?t have to share what we've built and worked and fought for all our lives with a bunch of wanting, self entitling, impinging communist / socialist outsiders
who's only end is to wreck our nation and cause death and mayhem with oligarchy.

They are using every format and forum they can to influence our youth.

They try to use penguins believing they can get parents and children to dance to the same tune
