I was only at Supercomputing 90 for a day. Is there someone out there who can give some overall impressions of the conference? =========================== MODERATOR ============================== Steve Stevenson fpst@hubcap.clemson.edu (aka D.

I was there three days. The exhibits were first class. One of the major talks was good - visualization. The papers varied in quality. Many were first class, some were quite bad. There were more good than bad that I saw. I believe that this conference is growing and that the quality will improve as its reputation grows. I plan to submit research and attend again. -rich enbody@cps.msu.edu

In article <11729@hubcap.clemson.edu> you write: >I was only at Supercomputing 90 for a day. Is there someone out there >who can give some overall impressions of the conference? My very personal opinion: Technically lightweight, but a good conference. Mostly so-so papers and presentations, lots of industry types and applications folk (overpowering the academic systems researcher side), but generally lots of good people around to talk with.... I attended only four sessions... but talked with *MANY* good people. This conference closely resembles the old Kartashev supercomputing conferences, except in that this one is IEEE backed and hence is respectable.... -hankd

We Silicon Valley correspondents, on the other hand, stayed in sunny California and cleaned the cinders out of the fireplace :), so I can't give you the first-hand story. Lisa Stapleton
