If supercomputing is your thing you're invited to participate in today's BlueFern user group meeting where Tony Dale will give highlights from the Supercomputing 2009 conference, and Steve Moore will present on GPU computing.

BlueFern meeting

Tony Dale of BlueFern recently attended the Supercomputing'09 (SC'09) conference in Portland, Oregon. SC'09 included workshops, demonstrations and technical papers featuring the latest supercomputing techniques and technology. Tony will report on the newest and best that he saw at SC'09, and Steve Moore will present a demonstration of one of SC'09s hot topics: GPU computing.

This will be a relatively informal meeting, and all users of the BlueFern high performance computing facility and your colleagues are encouraged to attend.
