Thursday November 16, 2006 MPI Engineers Gone Wild
Two engineers from Sun's MPI engineering team are here in Tampa at Supercomputing '06, primarily to staff our ClusterTools demo station and talk with customers. In addition, though, Rolf Vandevaart sat on a panel session on Monday at our HPC Aces training meeting which was held after our Sun HPC Consortium meeting at the Westin Innisbrook Golf Resort.

Don Kerr gave a talk in the booth theatre about the history of Sun's involvement with MPI over the last 10 years, including a good description of our current involvement as active, contributing members of the Open MPI open source effort. It's difficult doing talks in a show booth, but Don did a great job.

Imagine my surprise when I returned to our booth yesterday afternoon and found Don moving up from live presentations to the world of video interviews. He was lit by bright lights, surrounded by a camera and sound crew, and looked to be having a great time as he was taped for an internal Sun piece on Supercomputing.
