SEATTLE--Supercomputing 2011 which took place over this past week, in Seattle, was the 24th conference of its kind devoted to high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis. Attendance at this year’s show was in excess of 11,300 people, more than the 10,500 people who made it to last year’s conference in New Orleans.
With a budget of some $6 million dollars, SC11 generated nearly $23 million for the local economy.
The exhibit area itself was some 266 thousand square feet, accommodating SC11’s 336 exhibitors, which spanned both the worlds of industry and academia.
But to really understand the scale – or should we say, exascale – of SC11, you have to hear from the attendees themselves, so check out the video:

IBM's Blue Gene/Q; petaflops on low power
Intel unveils 1 TFLOP/s Knight's Corner
Intel Xeon E5s take 10 systems on Top500
AMD tops, Intel dominates Top500 list
Spain, Nvidia plan ARM-based supercomputer
Nvidia proposes GPU programming standard
GPU technology key to exascale says Nvidia
TI's multicore DSPs sink to new power lows
Intel to provide more software for servers
Video: Intel's Knight's Corner
AMD's Interlagos and Valencia finally emerge
China, GPUs on the rise in Top 500 list

Wow! This is a serious conference. I have to make plans to attend this conference in the future. Hope EETimes will keep the readers inform about this conference. Good job.

Thanks, Charles! It was honestly one of the most interesting and exciting shows I've ever attended. There's a real sense of purpose and science there. People are really doing things that change humanity. Can't wait to post the video I did from Nasa's booth, with their rep talking about the Kepler program and finding other inhabitable planets! cool, cool stuff!

@SylvieBarak: how about highspeed interconnects coverage at SC11?? The links you listed above do not seem to address that. Was there any talk abou the Chinese TianHe supercomputer?
