An open-source implementation of the Map-Reduce framework for parallel computations over large data sets. Can be used from Python.

"An international expert group was brought together for a workshop to define and produce a new vision and roadmap of the evolution, challenges and potential of computer science and computing in scientific research in the next fifteen years."

Web-based editor for setup, control and analysis of quantum computing simulation jobs.

If an infinite computer exists anywhere, almost certainly we are being emulated on it now. A simple program such as a universal dovetailer will compute all possible worlds, including an infinitely nested set of emulations.

If P!=NP (overwhelmingly likely) and if quantum computers can't solve NP problems in polynomal time (likely), NP-complete problems of sufficient largeness can never be solved by anything obeying the laws of physics. (Approximations are possible.)

Shows that, while some intuitions from classical computer science must be jettisoned in the light of modern physics, many others emerge nearly unscathed. Quantum computers can't solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud.
