| Castle Party |
| Heidelberg 25 June 2004
Today's issue is very short. The conference ends at around noon, and we want to be sure we can still use the Internet connection here to get the issue to you. The Castle Party was OK. Very nice, very old large room, good cuisine and nice company. The ISC2004 Awards were presented and there was music by a Heidelberg group, with non-typical Heidelberg instruments, like an electric piano, an accordeon, and a 3 metre long waldhorn. This morning I tried to visit the remaining booths at the exhibition. This included Quadrics, displaying their QSnetII, and several integrators from Germany, CADAC and CPI. Clearspeed had two 0.25 Tflop/s machines (32-bit, peak) on display using their attached processor. Fujitsu Siemens showed the newest version of the hpcLine. (AE)

As Schnepf from Fujitsu Siemens told me, the company is focusing on providing support for complex application with the hpcLine, not only the hardware. As part of this they started with "information days" designed to provide in a short period of time a lot of information to customers. This is a follow-on of the earlier SAVE meetings that took two days.
As promised, I went back to the SMC booth. They work together with CADAC, a German integrator who did just this week install a large Cluster at Wuppertal. We hope to give more details in Primeur Weekly next week.
The last lecturer is Yale Patt, he now explaining the processor of the future (2014) using an overhead projector: the first time it is used in the conference. Interesting presentation, but we will have to report on that later. |
