Wednesday's task force meeting at the Police Department centered on gang culture and gang-related crime countywide as the 15-member group works to find ways to improve safety in Santa Cruz.

The other speakers were Mario Sulay, commander of the Santa Cruz County Gang Task Force; Nane Alejandrez of Barrios Unidos; and officer Joe Hernandez, a gang specialist with Santa Cruz police.

According to Sulay, there are approximately 1,000 documented gang members across the county, most of them in Watsonville. About 64 percent of the gang members are men younger than age 25, he said.

However, gangs don't pay attention to boundaries and Santa Cruz -- primarily the Westside, Lower Ocean and Beach Flats -- is plagued with its share of gangs and gang-related drive-by shootings, homicide, assault and robbery, heof course the world of supercomputing is where many of those battles are being fought,” he said in the video.

With 8.5 petaflops of continuous performance, Mira is the fifth fastest supercomputer in the world. The 786,000-core cluster is run on behalf of the United States Department of Energy, with funding partially coming from the National Science Foundation. The system will be used for scientific research, including material science, climatology, seismology, and computational chemistry.

While it dropped from third place to fifth place on the Top 500 in the last year, Mira still leads the world of supercomputers in one category: energy efficiency. The system consumes just 3.9 megawatts of electricity, thanks in large part to a liquid cooling system. Instead of using fans, Mira’s processor nodes dissipate heat using
