Instead of trying to work from home tomorrow, I'm just going to take the day off. Please put me down for one vacation day. I'll still be reachable via cell and I'm sure I'll check email periodically throughout the day.

CIS had a cabinet in the data center, but someone is storing backup tapes in it. Can these be moved somewhere else? Or are these not ours? This is on the west wall of the room. -- Craig (mobile)

Just wanted to give you a heads up on what is happening next week that is at least on my radar- Monday, Appt w/ Radiation Oncologist at 11:15- will be in before and after appt. Wednesday- Appt w/ Chemo Oncologist at 9:40- Will be in after appt. Thursday- Appt w/ Pace (for rides through American Cancer Society) @ 4:00 p.m. BY O'HARE off Higgins Rd. I am still trying to figure out what time I should leave here to get her from her house in Palos Hills and then head there to be there on time. UGHHH. If something changes, I will send update. T.

Fwd: PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE for the Seminar: Cloud and HPC System Convergence

Cloud computing provides arbitrary consumers on-demand access to the aggregate computational power of data-center scale systems with compelling economic advantages. These clouds will increasingly adopt the kind of highly integrated and balanced systems pioneered by and used in HPC. Reflexively, cloud economics and the potential for broad utility and amortization can help foster the development and deployment of extreme scale systems. In this talk we describe two aspects of our work in exploring this convergence. In the first part we describe the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC), a new "open cloud" concept targeting big data and HPC applications. In the second part of the talk we describe our work on a new system software architecture and runtime that targets the challenges associated with developing software that can efficiently leveraging such systems for a broad spectrum of applications and use cases. We describe this system software effort in the context of the lessons from our past systems research. >> >> [schedule.ics] >> > >
