Gridget > Partnering with HP
[Powers Unfiltered] First, we have an upcoming event in Bellevue, WA on Monday. HP is hosting a briefing on its Windows-based HPC solutions for partners, customers, and prospects in HP’s Bellevue office (14475 NE 24th Street) on Monday, January 29, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I’m told they’ll buy lunch. Dan Ciruli (Digipede Director of Products) and I will be there to demonstrate the Digipede Network running on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 (CCS). I believe several Microsoft folk will also be there (it’s quite near the Redmond campus).

[Powersunfiltered.com] Powers Unfiltered: Then it was time for the John and Dan show. Stevan introduced us, and I put up a few slides, but as the last third of a 75-minute presentation, I wanted to make sure I left time for Dan to do a demonstration. I kept my remarks short, introducing a realistic financial example that would benefit from distributed computing using a grid or cluster. I did fine, and then had to do a bit of “just keep talking” work, as Dan performed that familiar-but-nerve-wracking presentation maneuver, the “laptop swap.” I had the slides, he had the Visual Studio installation and Internet connectivity (trust me, I know it doesn’t SOUND like we needed two laptops, but we did). So I’ve got the audience’s attention, and I’m even managing to field a question or two from an audience of 100+ developers, when I see 100+ pairs of eyes swivel away from me and up to the screen. CODE! That’s what these guys came to see - not slides, not some guy waving his hands telling them to imagine using grid computing - CODE!
