So it begins - Super Computing 2007 & The Sun HPC Consortium

So it's Saturday morning - the first day of the Sun HPC Consortium, and also the start of our preparations and ultimately the rollout of all the things we've been working on at Sun for this year's Super Computing 2007 presence.

I'm excited to be able to announce the launch of a new HPC community portal from Sun, at hpc.sun.com. At last there is a place for the Sun HPC community to come together online and share their ideas, their opinions and the latest advancements and innovations. The Sun HPC Community portal is the place to seek insight and assistance from Sun's HPC experts, Sun's partners, customers and advocates.

You don't need any special credentials or status to join - if you're a Sun employee, just use your existing account and password. If you're a Sun partner, use your Sun Partner Advantage (SPA) credentials. If you've ever established an account on any of Sun's public websites, either at the Sun Developer Network (SDN), or the Sun Download Center (SDLC), you can use that account to access this site. If you aren't in any of the above categories, just ask for an account and a new entry will be create and your access details will be emailed to you.

At the same time, I'm also excited to announce that we have taken our tradeshow booth into cyberspace and replicated our entire booth in Second Life. If you're not familiar with Second Life, you can get started at Sun SC2007 Virtual ooth.

So that's it for now - I'll continue w/ blog updates and news both from the Sun HPC Consortium, as well as the Super Computing 2007 conference itself.

so long for now,
