[Macpartners] Apple Seminar in N42 10/13 AM

[Jay McSweeney]

Hello,

     On 10.13 the Mac Partners Group is sponsoring an Apple "Power 
Computing for BioClusters" seminar in N42s demo center.         We've 
added a presentation from Geoff Holette and Chuck Shubert from IS&T .  
They will present their HPC pilot project and demonstrate Grid 
Mathematica  at about 11:00 AM

Henry Patel , Apple Consulting Engineer ,  will present a "Tiger Server 
and xSAN Overview"  at 11:30 till 12:30.  This is a change in the 
original agenda to provide a more general overview of Tiger Server and 
xSan than the seminar title would indicate.

The Keynote presentation by Dr. Bill Van Etten  from BioTeam will start 
at about 9:15.   Bill  has a vast background in bioinformatics and 
building computational clusters.

I hope you can join us for one or all of these sessions.

Regards

Jay
