The primary function of the CRCs is to allow students to perform course-related computer tasks while receiving direct I.T. assistance in an open lab setting. Whether students are enrolled in a computing course or completing regular coursework, CRC personnel offer extensive software and hardware knowledge. In addition, the CRC staff is trained to provide effective telephone assistance and to respond to e-mail inquiries from members of the Pace community unable to visit the facilities
Existing communications and computer architecture are increasingly being limited by the pedestrian speed of electrons moving through wires, and the future of high-speed communication and computing is in optics, experts say. The Holy Grail of results would be "wireless interconnecting," which operates at speeds 100 to 1,000 times faster than current technology. The new discovery, made by researchers at Oregon State University, the University of Iowa and Philipps University in Germany, has identified a way in which nanoscale devices based on gallium arsenide can respond to strong terahertz pulses for an extremely short period, controlling the electrical signal in a semiconductor. The research builds on previous findings for which OSU holds an issued patent.
