On arriving ath the front page you will immediately see the news / views / reviews sections. But the more important part of this portal is inside "HPC books".

Sections

We have 4 categories
* News - information about clusters and hpc from international and local news agencies, as well as from members of the portal
* Views - commentaries and opinion pieces
* Reviews - Looking at hardware and software
* Industry - press releases and derivative news
and 5 sections
* Software - News / Views / Reviews and Industry info about clustering and numerical software, tools and operation systems.

News about this portal

31/01/2007 We are rolling again, after a week's inactivity due to a sudden burst of work :) We have some information about NAS (a candidate for our Top100?), Ubuntu and HPC and one of out chestnuts, a link to a review of a book on building machines to solve problems where it notes that software is hard.

18/01/2007 We have greatly added to the kinds of contributions which people can make - so now in addition to blog you can add stories, pages, books etc.

This portal was setup in 2007 to help build the scientific and industrial computing community in South Africa - this includes people doing billing systems for telcos, financial computing, film industry, ... just about anything that relies on computationally intensive computing, engineering skills or software development for industrial strength applications. We were originally mainly focussed on High Performance and cluster computing - but it seems that this focus was too narrow, and now we look at broader industrial computing.

Welcome to our new HPC portal.

We have made a site for sharing information and opinion between IT professionals involved in computationally intensive computing. The idea is to also offer a community newspaper / journal of sorts, as well as provide downloads. The intention is to build something between Top500 and clusterbuilder.org.
After a month of consultation we launched the portal on 8 January 2007. (We are always ready for feedback.)
