CI NEWSLETTER

In the April 2008 Computation Institute newsletter we highlight the work of Andrew Siegel in a report on research into verification of complex parallel programs. We also welcome Svetlozar Nestorov to the Institute and draw our attention to the University's new Energy Initiative.

Additional articles this month feature the recent OSG educational workshops and how you can monitor CI servers and CI services on those servers. [Computation News]
