MHVLUG is proud to announce our July 2009 meeting: High Performance Computing
Jim Doherty will be presenting on High Performance Computing (aka Super Computers) and how Linux is used in that space. These are the kinds of machines that simulate nuclear reactions, protein folding (to create new drugs), and give you your weather forecast every day. He will touch on hardware, networks, software, and programming models. Before the main talk we will do a series of lightning talks (up to 3), each 10 minutes or less, on something Open Source related. It could be a fun new program, a book, a blog post, or really anything you think the wider MHVLUG community would find some interest in. People that have posted their talk subject to the wiki in advance have priority. Time permitting, we'll also take impromptu lightning talks from the floor. If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk, please arrive at 5:30, to ensure we can work out any kinks with the projector prior to the meeting. We often have Ubuntu CDs, OpenCDs, or Prentice Hall technical books to give away. They will be given away on a first come first served basis, so be sure to get there on time. The meeting will take place at the Mid Hudson Library System Auditorium, in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Wednesday, July 1 from 6pm - 8pm. A nice map to the Auditorium can be found here: http://midhudson.org/help/mhls_building_map.htm. All meetings are *free* and open to the public, and everyone from all levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! In addition, after each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner gathering at the Palace Diner (http://www.thepalacediner.com/) on Washington St. This is a great opportunity to interact with members of the local Linux community, and a forum where questions and comments are strongly welcomed.
