Join us at Super Computing 2011!We invite you to visit us at the SC2011 conference in Seattle, Nov 14-17 at Booth #2040 See first-hand how we are enabling research discovery with Dell HPC solutions.
Introduction by Dell’s Dr. Glen Otero Experience tells us that many vendor seminars approximate marketing Vaudeville. To the uninitiated, Dell's Enabling Discovery road shows might be indiscriminately categorized as such, and that would be making a big mistake.Any time Dell and its partners assemble for Enabling Discovery, the event is more akin to a think tank where ideas are shared, perspectives are grappled with, and good natured speculation of scientific computing's future is debated.Expert presentations by each of the participating partners provides a feast for thought, while a question and answer session with the presenters is an opportunity to ask their opinion on various topics. A recent event held at the esteemed Broad Institute revolved around Bioinformatics and High Performance Computing (HPC) and was written up in the June issue of Scientific Computing. We completed our spring tour of these events on June 23rd in Huntsville, AL – our next events will pickup again this September. If you have an interest in this road show coming to your city, please leave a comment & we’ll do our best to accommodate.View the Road Show Gallery Here-- Dr. Glen Otero
Occasionally an opportunity comes along to gather with industry colleagues to share research progress and goals, and to discuss the computing tools that are so vital in today’s life science research and discovery processes. Dell’s HPC solutions team, with various other hardware and software vendors has been touring cities across the U.S. with it’s Enabling Discovery one-day road show events, inviting local researchers from each tour leg to partake. The result has been rare and valuable discussions about the research being accomplished at a variety of institutions across the country, combined with a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities computing technology presents in our research efforts today and looking ahead.Scientific Computing attended a recent eventS held at the Broad Institute at MIT and Harvard, in Cambridge, as well as the last stop on this spring tour in Huntsville, Alabama. A write-up by myself covering the Broad Institute event can be found here http://www.scientificcomputing.com/Articles-HPC-Enabling-Bioinformatics-Discovery-with-High-Performance-Computing-Solutions-062210.aspxEach road show event has proven to be different, reflecting the different perspectives of local researchers who have attended to share their individual experiences. I’ve found one of the most valuable aspects of events like these, is the ability to bring our community together to share successes, discuss challenges, to sometimes agree and other times debate. The insights that can be gained by events like these can be valuable from an informational standpoint, but I believe even inspirational from a personal level as well.
