ABSTRACT:

This talk addresses how a novel inexpensive and "Engaging" approach to a 
high performance computing environment will expand the very reaches of 
high performance computing.  The premise is that by setting up a 
responsive environment focusing on the end-to-end workflow and 
productivity needs of scientists and engineers, one can create a 
compelling and engaging high performance computing experience that 
provides a fresh new approach to the very perception of high performance 
computing.
