[Marko Grobelnik]

Vabim vas na 185. Solomonov seminar, ki bo v torek 3. marca,
ob 13:00 uri v Veliki predavalnici IJS. Posnetke preteklih 
seminarjev najdete na naslovu http://videolectures.net/solomon/ 

Na tokraten predavanju bo John G. Zabolitzy iz Racunalniskega muzeja iz 
Muenchna, sicer gost kiberpipe, predaval o visoko zmogljivem racunanju.

Naj opozorim se na predavanje istega avtorja v ponedeljek 2. prila ob 19h

           Pipelined Vector Processing and Scientific Computation

For almost two decades (1976-1993) technical-scientific high-performance 
computing has been dominated by vector processing, pioneered by 
Seymour Cray and his Cray Research Incorporated. This technology 
is explained in detail, and the significant cost-performance advantages 
are outlined. While parallel processing is more en-vogue today, and 
in fact is dominating scientific computation since 1993, a comeback 
of vector processing may be on the horizon due to the IBM/Sony/Toshiba 
Cell processor being a parallel vector processor, and being the 
highest-performance single chip available today.
