IBM has announced a new initiative called “Deep Computing Services” which draws from IBM’s extensive high performance computing experience to offer clients access to specializing supercomputing skills. Of interest is one area:
Deep Computing Visualization support — can span the design and integration of a visualization system as well as development of unique components and related services to support insight on scientific and engineering problems through visualization solutions.
No more information than that, unfortunately, other than the Rocky Mountain Supercomputing Centers in Montana contracted with IBM and seems fairly happy.
That’s awfully ironic considering IBM laid off most (all?) of the visualization research staff at Watson Research Center..
