Itanium Solutions Alliance Humanitarian Impact Innovation Award 2007: Stony Brook University

Summary: Itanium Solutions Alliance, Vol. 3, “Stony Brook University and the Humanitarian Impact Innovation Award”, published May 14, 2007, with guest Dr. Carlos Simmerling of Stony Brook University. In this third of a series of interviews with the winners of the Itanium Solutions Alliance’s Innovation Awards, we talk with Dr. Carlos Simmerling of Stony Brook University, about how advanced biomedical modeling research is leading to critically-important discoveries in the treatment of HIV and AIDs, and how strategic choices in software architecture, supercomputer design, and critical computer processors (such as the Intel Itanium2 ® processor) have made this all possible. It’s an inside look at how strategic innovation in high tech operates in practice -- and for the benefit of us all.
