Computing Division at SC2010

From CD Tracks

Members of the Computing Division recently returned from Supercomputing 2010 in New Orleans. This year's participation by Fermilab was very productive. The technical program was strong and we gained new insights into new experiments and collaborations, programming models, tools and languages. The buzz and discussions on the show floor were more like a collaboration meeting than the "vendor show” Supercomputing has sometimes been. It was great to experience the energy and enthusiasm of the community in a climate of the increasing  impact and adoption of “computational thinking and processes.” <More...>
