Gates’ keynote from Supercomputing 2005 <\/a>went well based on our un-scientific polls on the show floor.\u00a0 By well I mean this pro-Linux and non-MS crowd said he\u00a0hit on\u00a0good points re: HPC, was interesting and showed good demos.\u00a0The following\u00a0comment — from a Beltway national labs guy who runs an all Unix\/Linux lab — is a good example:<\/p>\n

“I had forgotten that Bill Gates was scheduled to give the keynote address at the conference. He just spoke and gave a very nice and interesting presentation about future directions for high performance computing. Not too much MS sales talk, and said a lot of the right things about interoperability and so on. He’s quite a good speaker. Anyway, I have to give him credit for not pissing me off, and even being interesting and reasonable.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here are a couple others\u00a0viewpoints Dan Reed <\/a>from Renaissance Computing Institute; Walter Stewart an independent consultant. And at the show we managed to meet with Ken Farmer, who runs a number of sites included WindowsHPC. In his words:<\/p>\n

a website for System Administrators, developers, and enterprise managers, offering recent industry news, events, mailing lists and links, etc. related to high performance technical computing and clustering with Windows.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beta 2 of the product also went live. I snapped a shot of the admin “to do list” – just one of the tools to manage the cluster. And along the lines of servers, Ciarra’s are very cool. Four blades in one relatively portable chassis.<\/p>\n

Lastly, I’m still waiting on\u00a0photos of Sheryl Crow’s concert\u00a0from Tuesday’s party at EMP. Lance was in the house, but no photos of him. A major highlight\u00a0(besides from the Red Hook) was access to the Sci-Fi Museum<\/a>, which is connected to EMP. The exhibits on display include Star Wars, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes<\/a>, Cylon Commanders<\/a> from the orginal Battlestar and much more.<\/p>\n
