[ut.supercomputer] Kicking this thing off

"Oliver A. McBryan" <mcbryan%nyu.arpa@CSNET-RELAY> (11/24/85)

There have been complaints from folks about not receiving any supercomputer
mail.   The reason is simple - no one has submitted anything.   Now that
the group is up to 150 names, its time to start submitting items.  As a
reminder, just mail submissions to  supercomputer@nyu  (or cmcl2!supercomputer
on USENET).

The just-concluded SIAM meeting on Parallel Computing in Norfolk was a real
success, with 650+ attendees, more than twice the number last time.  Many
thanks to Bob Voigt and the organizing committee.   If anyone feels like
summarizing highlights of the meeting that could be a useful submission to
this bulletin board. 

Besides meeting announcements and requests for 'how do I do ... on machine
....' and the like, job announcements for supercomputing positions and
timely announcements re new hardware or software come to mind as worthwhile
topics.
