SUPER COMPUTER'S OF COIMBRA UNIVERSITY WILL 'GIVE' MORE THAN 3.5 MILLION HOURS FOR PORTUGUESE SCIENCE

The supercomputer, which uses Sun Microsystems technology, is the largest computer calculation of Portuguese scientific and Portugal is already one of the biggest international projects in advanced computing.

The most powerful computational system for calculating scientific existing in Portugal 'distributed' approximately 3.5 million hours of time of calculation by 34 scientific projects related to the areas of Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry / Biophysics , Mathematics, Engineering and Chemical Engineering Informatics.

The total use of CPU requested by competitors in the competition for the allocation of time in the supercomputer Milipeia exceeded 5.6 million hours.

OPEN JAVA


According to James Gosling, Sun Microsystems are making progress with our plans to open source Sun's implementations of the Java platform.

Java technology has been a cornerstone of software development for more than a decade now -- the community is ready for the next chapter...FREE OPEN JAVA!!



Java technology remains so popular is that it's remarkably successful at spanning a lot of different domains. With this techonology it's could be possible to write software for:

- Application servers,
- cell phones,
- scientific programming,
- desktop applications,
- games,
- embedded.

Get Involved

Visit the three new open-source Java communities that Sun is seeding and download the code: OpenJDK, Mobile & Embedded, and the GlassFish community.

OPEN SOURCE COMMUNITY

The Sharing of "Open Innovation" tecnology is the future of our society. The 1st step to create any open innovation system is the knowledge participation, share ideas, suggest change and improve competence skills.

You can find bellow many examples of open source innovation shared with open source community:

RENEWAL AND OPEN INNOVATION

According with Meisiek & Haefliger (2007) the Innovation iterations could happen between two dimensions: one towards the problem and one towards the community. While problem-focus refers to the purposeful trials to find and solve an attractive problem with the resources at hand, community-focus denotes the opening of the problem-finding and solving process towards a wider group of self-selected stakeholders. The iterative advances on both dimensions foster renewal and allows entrepreneurial firms to develop andcommercialize innovations that are perceived as meaningfully novel. There are still many questions surrounding renewal and recognizable novelty, but in point of view of Meisiek & Haefliger (2007) the entrepreneurship and innovation researchers have made a start in uncovering the relationship and found that renewal is a promising way to involve stakeholders into a process that bridges familiar and unfamiliar to generate novel artifacts.
