I have spent this week at the International SuperComputing Show in Dresden - a great show with a really concentrated group of people from the industry.

I thought I would share a few of the significant press releases and announcements that have come out this year at ISC 07, some of my favorites include:

“I am pleased to see these new Top500 systems based on Windows Compute Cluster Server. The submissions underscore Microsoft’s profound interest in our community and prove that supercomputing can be done on Windows.”
Prof. Dr. Hans Werner Meuer,
Co-Founder of the Top500 list

Interesting write up here:

Microsoft Back on the Top 500 List of Biggest HPC Systems

and

Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ), a provider of software solutions, on Tuesday announced that it has extended its worldwide sales and marketing agreement with Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) to address the high-performance computing or HPC market.
The companies have planned to market high-performance computing into the mass market by delivering supercomputing clusters that are easier to deploy, support and manage for enterprise and mid-market customers.
