Type:
Terra Soft Solutions is proud to announce Hack-a-thon II, to be held in Austin, Texas, September 22-25, two days prior to and then in conjunction with the Power Architecture Developer Conference. In this 4 day event, Terra Soft will host a 6 node PS3 cluster and hands-on workshop for the installation of Yellow Dog Linux, compute image deployment via Y-HPC, and use of Torque and Moab for job management. Hack-a-thon attendees will be invited to working hands-on with the cluster to test their own parallel and distributed code. Tim Wilcox, Sales Engineer for Terra Soft describes this four day event as "a unique opportunity to work with a new kind of commodity cluster for development and testing of science and engineering applications for the Cell processor ... the end product readily migrating to the Mercury and IBM Cell systems for even higher performance. I am excited to learn how attendees of the first Hack-a-thon have grown in their Cell programming experience, and to welcome new faces." http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/news/2007/2007-07-02.shtml http://www.hpc-consortium.net/events/200709/

"Drs. Jay Boisseau, Karl Schulz, and Omar Ghattas will describe the Ranger system in detail, present initial results, and discuss how Ranger and the project team will enable unprecedented computational research that advances science and society. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Ranger is a collaboration among TACC, The University of Texas at Austin’s Institute for Computational and Engineering Sciences (ICES), Sun Microsystems, Advanced Micro Devices, Arizona State University and Cornell University. Importantly, Ranger’s deployment marks the beginning of the Petascale Era in high-performance computing (HPC) where systems will approach a thousand trillion floating point operations per second and manage a thousand trillion bytes of data. Join us for an engaging discussion on the importance and value of advanced computing technologies, in particular, this first-of-its-kind system. " For more information on Ranger see: http://www.utexas.edu/features/2008/ranger/ This is part of the Austin Forum series at TACC.

Reclaiming Mother's Day
Where: Dougherty Arts Center
Date: 2008-05-10 13:00:00

Reclaiming Mother’s Day events are inspired by the life, words and actions of Julia Ward Howe. In 1870 she wrote a Mother’s Day Proclamation and called for a day when the world would honor what mothers hold most dear: the lives of our children, of all children. The events celebrate the vision that Julia spoke of 100 years ago: mothers everywhere rising up together around that which unites us rather than divides us — our global family. Reclaiming Mother’s Day events are the signature outreach event for most MAU Communities, because they are the most visible, exuberant, media-grabbing way to engage your community. And — let’s be frank — they offer a rare opportunity to walk on stilts and dress in outrageous costumes. Julia Ward Howe wrote in her journal, “Why do not the mothers of mankind interfere in these matters, to prevent the waste of that human life of which they alone bear and know the cost?” Perhaps we didn’t know we were invited ... Mother’s Day events publicly invite every last mother to Take Action. Julia wrote, “Arise, arise, all women who have hearts!” Every year we answer her call. ** Reclaiming Mother's Day Procession Reclaim Mother's day as a day of collective action! Honor the work of the World's Mothers and learn how you can do a little actin' up on behalf of the World's Children. Be Visible! Join us for a public procession with Mothers on Stilts, Balloons, and Outrageous Costumes as we Reclaim Mother's Day 2008! Bring the kiddos and have them march along - bring a fun instrument (maracas, flutes, tambourines...) to help celebrate! Public Procession begins at 1:15 Directions Starting point: Dougherty Arts Center (1110 Barton Springs Rd), Marching up South Lamar to Riverside, across the pedestrian bridge Ending point: north shore of Town Lake More on Reclaiming Mother's Day: http://www.mothersactingup.org/mothersday.html
