Earlier this year, the Obama administration announced a massive data mining initiative where federal resources would be used to collect vast amounts of data concerning subjects of science, economy, environment and medicine.

The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is teaming up with IBM to create “deep computing solutions” (DCS) an element of the LLNL’s High Performance Computing Innovation Center (HPCIC).

IBM and LLNL will be a “foundational stone” to solving business problems, according to James Sexton, program director of the TJ Watson Computational Science Center at IBM. Sexton says: “It could be an engineering design for a new aircraft or gas turbine engine. It could be an agricultural system where you’re managing the land and want to minimize damage to the environment.”
