Cray ( CRAY - news - people ) supercomputer to process gulf seismic data in three dimensions.
Through 1997, Adams and his team amassed animal data on PS-341, in the process cementing relationships with more than a dozen academic researchers.
The very act of shifting from an in-house data centre to an on-demand service can start a powerful discovery process.

As recently as 10 years ago, regulators regarded adverse event data as one tool among many in their decision-making process.
And the reality is, there is more batch processing and post-process reporting in Big Data applications (vs. real-time capabilities) than insiders want to admit.
FORBES: Hadoop Alpha Geeks Disrupting The Rapidly Growing Big-Data Market
But the amount of real-time data it has been able to process has increased vastly in the past three years, thanks to better software and Moore's Law of increasing computing power.
Moreover, this process could result in a pool of real-world data that could help in future research or treatment.
Both of these are aiming for true mobility, retaining the hand-off circuitry and trying to make terminals as small as possible. (They are currently about the size of a videotape, but both firms claim that cards which can fit inside a laptop are coming soon.) In the process, however, they have sacrificed telephony and focused solely on data-only systems.
But using it in the life-insurance application process would "raise questions" about whether the data would be subject to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, says Rebecca Kuehn of the Federal Trade Commission's division of privacy and identity protection.
The Journal obtained a limited set of Medicare data in 2010 after going through a lengthy and onerous request process usually reserved for academics conducting health-care studies.

Secondly, Cisco Extended Memory technology allows each blade server in a cluster to support more than twice as much memory as a conventional two-socket server, which makes it easier to construct grids that process terabytes of data in memory.
That, says Allen, a vice-president at Citicorp in New York, will be enough for the card to process data on its own.
They work by co-ordinating the process so that devices downloading material also share small pieces of already-accessed data with others in order to share the load.
The size and complexity of this data, in combination with the focus on the creation of shareholder value through competitively superior decision-making, has required a unique process that has led to some conclusions contrary to emerging received wisdom, starting with an unconventional definition of Big Data.
