A high day ahead for Linux HPC
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux and High Performance Computing go hand in hand. So to see what
| Australian users have been doing with Linux and HPC, this year's
| linux.conf.au is holding a Birds of a Feather session on the topic. Before
| the session kicks off we take time to speak to the BoF coordinator Anthony
| David. During the working day David works for SGI as the onsite engineer for
| the Australian Partnership for Advanced Computing (APAC).
