"Intel's SSD 910: Finally a PCIe SSD from Intel"
 4/12/2012, AnandTech
  http://www.anandtech.com/show/5743/intels-ssd-910-400800gb-mlchet-pcie-shipping-in-1h-2012
  http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/storage/Intel/910/announcement/Intel-SSD-910-Exploded-3-layers-copy.jpg
  "... The first PCB features either two or four SAS SSD controllers, jointly
   developed by Intel and Hitachi (the same controllers are used in Hitachi's
   Ultrastar SSD400M). These controllers are very similar to Intel's
   X25-M/G2/310/320 controller family but with a couple of changes.
   The client controller features a single CPU core, while the Intel/Hitachi
   controller features two cores (one managing the NAND side of the drive
   while the other managing the SAS interface). Both are 10-channel designs,
   although the 910's implementation features 14 NAND packages per controller."

  http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/storage/Intel/910/announcement/arch.jpg
   "In front of the four controllers is an LSI 2008 SAS to PCIe bridge. There's
   no support for hardware RAID, each controller presents itself to the OS
   as a single drive with a 200GiB (186GB) capacity. ..."

 PACE to Bridge Gap Between Academia, Industry, and Government
  "... is launching a new "center of excellence" aimed at leveraging
   SDSC's data-intensive expertise and resources to help create
   the next generation of data researchers by leading a collaborative,
   nationwide education and training effort among academia, industry,
   and government.

   SDSC is providing seed funding for the program, called PACE
   for Predictive Analytics Center of Excellence. ..."
.....
  "While education and training initiatives are a large part of PACE,
   the project will also be open to collaborations and projects
   with industry and government, especially using Gordon, a unique,
   data-intensive supercomputer recently introduced by SDSC
   and which currently ranks among the 50 fastest supercomputers
   in the world."
.....
Federal Focus on Big Data
  "SDSC's PACE program comes as the administration's Office of Science
