HPC Podcast and Happy Thanksgiving
First I must say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. This is one of my favorite holidays. Why? I love food and good traditional home cooked food, and Thanksgiving is no better way to get it. It means even more now that I have been living on my own for the last 6 years.
Podcast
I have been kicking around the idea of trying to start a pod cast on High Performance Computing (HPC). This is a topic I am intimately familiar with, but I have a lot to learn. My goals would be for sysadmins like my self to learn from other sites how they run their systems, funding models, and in use management software. This would be balanced with user applications. These talks would be for the graduate student, research scientist, and faculty, who would like to hear about tools for developing HPC and Terascale applications as well as tools for those who wish to do some form of science.
In short I am looking for a co-host and software projects to talk to. For a co-host I am looking for someone who is familiar with HPC but less from the admin perspective (Like my self) and more for the science factor. Remember these applicaions will from from large FEA and CFD applications to the biological sciences. Curiosity, a good speaking voice, and a large science background would be helpful, to ask good questions so that those listening who are in those fields will get answers they are looking for.
The show would be modeled after FLOSS Weekly. My own company will have a site up in the future. Shows will be between 30 minutes and 1 hour long, and will start at once every two weeks. I don’t know when I will get this started, mostly hinges on finding a co-host.
And trust me I speak much better than I write. Co-hosts do not need to be close to Ann Arbor, all interviews will be done over Skype. People interested in being co-hosts should email me at: brockp@mlds-networks.com and people who have projects to nominate for being features can ether comment or email. Feel free to mention your own project.
