1. Events
--Moab-Con 2008
Cluster Resources kicked off the first annual Moab conference, Moab-Con
2008: Advancing Computing Intelligence, 27 May – 30 May, in Provo, UT.
Over 90 attendees turned out for the event and had the opportunity to
select from more than 40 sessions. Topics covered everything from Q&As
with Moab and TORQUE developers and tuning for massive systems to
triggers and autonomics. A panel on the next generation in workload
management even gave Moab users the opportunity to express what features
they would like to see in Moab.
Plans are already in the works for Moab-Con 2009. Thanks to everyone who
attended and helped make Moab-Con a success.
