MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Supercomputing 2011 (SC11) held at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle was the 24th conference of its kind devoted to high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis.
Attendance at this year’s show exceeded 11,500 people, more than the 10,500 people who made it to last year’s conference in New Orleans.
The exhibition boasted a budget of some $6 million dollars, but managed to generate nearly $23 million for the local economy.
The exhibit area measured some 266 thousand square feet to accommodate 336 exhibitors from both the industry and academia.
The following picture slideshow aims to show you the best of what SC11 had to offer.

Page 6 says: "AMD took the first three places, powering the world's three largest supercomputers – “K”, Tianhe-1A and Jaguar." However, the Fujitsu "K" (Kei) supercomputer is powered by 88,128 2.0-GHz 8-core SPARC64 VIIIfx processors, making it the first SPARC computer to top the LINPACK list.

Thanks. (That was easy for me to spot, give my role as co-lead of the SPARC architecture at Sun in 1984. :-)

Excellent job Sylvie. Today's supercomputing power is tomorrow's mobile phone computing power, so it's always good to follow the latest news from SC.

Wow! This is the real face of the computing. And the future looks really bright. Sitting here in India, I am just envious of those people who could witness this in person.
