I've completed my series of blog entries about Sun's HPC Consortium meeting in Dresden last week. All customer talks and a selection of Sun talks were included. I wasn't able to cover all of the Sun talks or any of the partner talks at the event due to time constraints. You might be amazed at how long it took to create the entries referenced below.

Here are pointers to the blog entries about customer talks:

• Shared memory parallelism on multi-core processors
• TSUBAME Update
• Making Solaris Transparent with DTrace
• The TACC Ranger System
• Big SMPs in Education
• A Customer View of ZFS
• Sun Visualization System Case Study
• Sun HPC at Clemson University
• HPC at CERN (two talks)

And here are pointers to blog entries covering a selection of the Sun talks:

• Andy Bechtolsheim (pre-announcement )
• Blackbox
• Sun Labs Perspectives
• Niagara 2 Processor Performance (two talks)
• A Brief History of Solaris

And here are a few entries with details of last week's announcement of the Sun Constellation System:

• Constellation details
• Photos of the unveiling at ISC

The next HPC Consortium meeting will be held in Reno in November just prior to SC07.
