[mhvlug] [REMINDER] MHVLUG Meeting - Wednesday, January 9th at 6 pm

[sean]

Mid Hudson Valley Linux and Open Source Users Group Follow Us MHVLUG is proud to announce our January meeting: High Performance Computing at a Small Scale High-Performance Computing, or HPC, is the application of "supercomputers" to computation problems that are either too large for standard computers or would take too long. Whether used for simulating protein interaction, modeling weather patterns or rendering the lastest Pixar hit HPC contributes to our daily lives in many ways. Ben will give a background on High Performance Computing, and what it is like to setup an environment at a small college scale. Ben Stoutenburgh is currently a System Administrator for the Computer Science department of Vassar College. Among the duties that come with his position is the maintenance and enhancement of Vassar's HPC cluster called Junior. Ben has been a long time member of the LUG and is the exiting Program Director. Lightning Talks Sign up for some! The meeting space opens up at 5pm for pre meeting general discussion, question asking, show and tell, and setup. All are welcome to join. If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk, please arrive at 5:30 to ensure we can work out any kinks with the projector prior to the meeting. The meeting will take place at Rockefeller Hall 200, Vassar College on Wednesday, January 9th at 6 pm. All meetings are free and open to the public, and everyone from all levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! After each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner gathering at the Palace Diner on Washington St. This is a great opportunity to interact with members of the local Linux community, and a forum where questions and comments are strongly welcomed. For more details, including maps and directions, please see the meeting page. Show your support for MHVLUG by RSVPing at our Meetup Page.
