Dear Members and Friends,
The shear scale of some high performance computing systems is staggering.
I invite you come out and learn something about a world far from every day
databases and desktops.

March General Meeting
A Quick Look into HPC
Speaker: Dave Tsang, IBM
IBM <http://www.ibm.com/ca/en/> is a CUUG Diamond-level sponsor.
This presentation is a high-level discussion of the going-ons in the
world of High Performance Computing, and how IBM is contributing to it.
For years, HPC was a topic restricted to those in research labs. More
and more we are seeing supercomputers built on clustering commercially
available servers and businesses trying to adopt this model in their IT
infrastructure. We'll discuss how IBM's Unix servers and the associated
POWER chipset are leading the charge in the HPC world.
Dave Tsang has been with IBM for 9 years working with the IBM RS/6000,
pSeries, System p5 line of servers. Dave is a specialist in the AIX
(IBM's UNIX) operating system, as well as many clustering technologies
for the Unix/Linux world. He has a B.Sc. (Hon) in Computer Science from
Queen's University and currently serves as an IBM System p5 Technical
Sales Specialist for Alberta.
