Rich has the pleasure of being at the 10th International Meeting on High-Performance Computing for Computational Science (VECPAR), held this year at RIKEN AICS research facility in Kōbe (神戸市), Japan. RIKEN is home of the amazing K Supercomputer, shown here (only partly obstructed by Rich’s head, which he wishes had as much computing power).
Rich is especially grateful to the VECPAR organizers and other hosts (here, here, here, and here, among others) for the chance to speak, to see the K Computer, and to sample Kobe beef (yes, it’s that good!). For those interested in the talk, here is a link to Rich’s slides: [PDF].
