Supercomputing 2007 showcased Fermilab and CD accomplishments
For Supercomputing 2007, the Computing Division, together with Visual Media Services, produced a spiral timeline highlighting past, present and expected future developments. Traverse the history of Fermilab and the Computing Division online by zooming through the timeline (allow a short load time to zoom into image detail; access zoom tools at midpoint on bottom edge of image). View the actual spiral at the SC2007 show site.
United we compute: FermiGrid continues to yield results
From ISGTW
Before FermiGrid, the computing resources at high energy physics laboratory Fermilab, in Illinois, U.S., were individually packaged for the dedicated use of particular experiments.
By late 2004, all this began to change. The birth of FermiGrid, an initiative aiming to unite all of Fermilab’s computing resources into a single grid infrastructure, changed the way that computing was done at the lab, improving efficiency and making better use of these resources along the way. <More>
ComPASS
From SciDAC web site
The Community Petascale Project for Accelerator Science and Simulation ( ComPASS) is a new SciDAC (Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing) project that Fermilab's Computing Division takes lead. This project will develop a comprehensive computational infrastructure for accelerator modeling and optimization. The project will enhance the suite of parallel accelerator simulation tools developed in SciDAC-1, to provide interoperable, petascale components for beam dynamics, electromagnetics, electron cooling, and advanced accelerator modeling. <More>

SC2007 Spiral
From February to May 2007, about 900 million D-Zero events were reprocessed with the help of FermiGrid resources.
