The IEEE Computer Society is offering a free mobile application that will let subscribers to the Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) use their iPads to access the largest and most dynamic collection of digitized computing knowledge in the world.

ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery) and the IEEE Computer Society will jointly present the Eckert-Mauchly Award to Algirdas Avižienis of the University of California, Los Angeles for fundamental contributions to fault-tolerant computer architecture and computer arithmetic. His conceptual designs led to construction of the Self-Testing and Repairing (STAR) computer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at California Institute of Technology, which was instrumental to the JPL mission to explore space. The Eckert-Mauchly award is known as the computer architecture community’s most prestigious award. Avižienis will receive the 2012 Eckert-Mauchly Award at the International Symposium on Computer Architecture on 12 June in Portland, Oregon.
