We make computers powerful. The Star of Arkansas was recently ranked at No. 339 in the list of the world's Top Supercomputers. June 23, 2008 - http://hpc.uark.edu/
We make computers small and secure. Smartdust: a network of tiny wireless microelectromechanical systems, installed with wireless communications, that can detect (for example) light, temperature, or vibration.
We make computers fun and useful. Modeling Healthcare in a Virtual World Project • Check out the YouTube video at http://vw.ddns.uark.edu
We make computers think. Find me web pages on “salsa”!
