<p>"Stanford University President John Hennessy and Sun Microsystems Chairman Scott McNealy opened the doors to the Stanford Computational Earth and Environmental Science (CEES) research facility today. The facility will be used to expand the present capacity for interdisciplinary Earth science research, and is expected to allow deeper analysis, simulation and prediction around complex Earth processes and systems – which could lead to advances in earthquake detection, oil exploration and the effects of oceanic and climate changes.</p>
<p>Bridging the needs of large corporations with expertise from academia, the center also aims to tackle technology issues that plague the energy industry. For instance, researchers will study the detrimental effects of using applications with inefficient computing systems and explore business technology pain points related to data center consolidation and grid computing.
