Hello from SC|2005

Hello from Seattle... Supercomputing 2005 is in full-swing here in the Pacific Northwest. I'll be posting regular updates on interesting things I see and hear here. Today I'm attending an all-day seminar titled Parallel Computing 101. It focuses on various types of hardware, software tools, and programming priciples.
On Monday, I'll attend a workshop on Blue Gene, the world's fastest supercomputer. Bill Gates' keynote -- the Changing Role of IT in the Sciences -- will be on Tuesday morning... should be interesting!

Bye for now!
