[Edu-sig] OSCON presentations available

[Randy Latimer]

Thanks for the Python in Ed slides.

I teach in a magnet high school for science and tech, we're fortunate to
have received a Cray SV1 supercomputer last year.
We have a "Supercomputer Applications" course, and we're looking for
project ideas in high performance computing - distributed computing and
parallel processing (we've started looking at MPI - Message Passing
Interface using C/C++)

Let me know if anyone out there has high performance computer modeling
applications that could be interesting to high schoolers.
We have a networked lab of Debian Linux workstations and the Cray.
Also we have a Mosix cluster of 16 computers, several years old.

Thanks,
Randy Latimer  rlatimer@tjhsst.edu or Randy.Latimer@fcps.edu
