[Nottingham] [Talk] Supercomputer bits 'n' bobs Thursday 04/06/2009

[Jim Moore]

I've been out of the loop for a year as far as anything cutting-edge
in computers go (super or otherwise, and it's a long story) but
unfortunately I can't attend the talk. If anyone who does attend this
talk feels the urge to write up a digest, I for one would appreciate
it lots :)
