Services Symposium: Cloud or No Cloud, the Laws of Physics Still Apply

System — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:37:36 GMT

Bandwidth is not infinite and certainly not free, latency is bound by speed of light, and storage density is increasing. How will all this affect your architecture? In this final session, we discuss emerging patterns that take into account the physical aspects of a cloud-based application.

Services Symposium: Enterprise Grade Cloud Applications

System — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:37:35 GMT

Today, hosted applications do not offer many of the features that large enterprises expect related to identity, management, and data. See detailed examples of "enterprise grade" hosted application design. Learn how to implement a federated identity scenario, enable remote application management, and provide richer control of data storage.

Services Symposium: Expanding Applications to the Cloud

System — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:37:34 GMT

Take an enthusiastic--yet pragmatic--look at cloud opportunities. First, hear about a model for determining what should be pushed to the cloud and what should be kept in-house. Second, explore examples of cloud-based infrastructure as part of an existing application. Finally, discuss architectural tradeoffs and best practices.

Parallel Symposium: Future of Parallel Computing

System — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:37:33 GMT

Hear Intel describe its near-term support for Microsoft Visual Studio with Intel Parallel Studio. Learn about incubation technologies related to parallel computing, such as Intel Threading Building Blocks on Concurrency Runtime, software transaction memory, agents, Intel Ct and tools.

James Reinders
James Reinders is an expert in the area of parallelism, Intel’s leading spokesperson on tools for parallelism, and author of the O’Reilly Nutshell book on the C++ extensions for parallelism provided by the popular Intel Threading Building Blocks. James has decades of experience with high degrees of parallelism having worked on groundbreaking compilers and architectures such as the systolic arrays WARP and iWarp, and the world’s first TeraFLOP supercomputer (ASCI Red).

David Detlefs
Dave got his Ph.D. from Carnegie-Mellon in 1990. He was a researcher at DEC's System Research Center from 1990 to 1996, working on program verification and garbage collection. He moved to Sun Laboratories in Massachusetts in 1996, working there on parallel and concurrent garbage collection, lock-free algorithms, and just-in-time compilation techniques. He moved to Microsoft's CLR in 2005, and has been working on transactional memory and various CLR architectural issues. He holds 32 patents, and has been on a number of program committees for academic conferences.

Parallel Symposium: Application Opportunities and Architectures

System — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:37:32 GMT

Parallel Computing opens up potential for new categories of applications and user interaction. Hear Intel discuss its vision for Connected Visual Computing followed by Microsoft's guidance on how to architect applications that are correct, scalable, and responsive.
