A Q&A Roundtable with the HPC Advisory Council

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

We recently performed an interview with Addison Snell, General Manager at Tabor Research, where we highlighted the council’s activities for the past year, and provided some insight into our future direction.

Participating were:
Gilad Shainer – Chair, HPC Advisory Council
Brian Sparks – Media Relations Director, HPC Advisory Council
Gautam Shah – CEO, Colfax International
Scot Schultz – Senior Strategic Alliance Manager, AMD
Peter Lillian – Senior Product Marketing Manager, Dell

It’s amazing to me what the Council has been able to accomplish in under a year. Sometimes it all flies by so fast that you don’t have time to sit back and try to take it all in. Am I being a little grandiose here? Ya, sure, but a lot of folks from various companies have put in a huge amount of work…and it’s nice to see it all come into fruition where it benefits all members. Thank you everyone for helping the Council become what it is today.

You can find the whole interview here.

Talk with you soon,

1st Annual Mellanox HPC Advisory Council Member Meeting

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

I would like to thank all the folks who came to our first member meeting during SC’08. We had a great turnout and we hope you all had a good time (looking at the beverage bill…I would say YES! ;) ). Although, it’s TBD right now, I would expect we will be having another meeting/get-together during ISC’09 in June, so stay tuned…

I look forward to seeing you all there and at the many events I end up attending.
