Thanks to Perceptive Software who are bringing me to Kansas City in two weeks to give a free talk on “Welcome to the Jungle.”
The talk will be based on my recent essay of the same name (sequel to ”The Free Lunch Is Over”) concerning the turn to mainstream heterogeneous distributed computing and the end of Moore’s Law, with ample time for Q&A and discussion.
Here are the coordinates:
Computing Trends with Herb Sutter: Welcome to the Jungle
When: Tuesday, March 20 at 1:00 – 3:00 P.M.
Where: Boulevard Brewery, 2501 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO, USA 64108
Abstract: In the twilight of Moore’s Law, the transitions to multicore processors, GPU computing, and HaaS cloud computing are not separate trends, but aspects of a single trend – mainstream computers from desktops to ‘smartphones’ are being permanently transformed into heterogeneous supercomputer clusters. Henceforth, a single compute-intensive application will need to harness different kinds of cores, in immense numbers, to get its job done. – The free lunch is over. Now welcome to the hardware jungle.
This is a free lecture; all are invited, but you should register to make sure you’ll have a seat. Note that this talk is live only and is not being recorded or webcast.
I look forward to meeting many of you there in person.
You should drop by Dallas, Texas sometime and give a talk!
Looking forward to having you in Kansas City. Here’s hoping the weather will be cooperative!
We are looking forward to having you here Herb.
Nice to hear. Unfortunately for us who are from different parts of the world if the talk would be available in some form we would be grateful :-)
