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.
