Hernan – this presentation is getting a little long in the tooth, but I did put it back up in case you’d still like to grab it.

Sateesh –

Thanks for writing in. Are you suggesting that I add some note text to the slides to flesh out what I’m talking about with those pictures? Probably a good idea…for example, the “too complex” one is a picture of a warehouse, and the idea is that moving millions of packages around the world every day is tough and that needs supercomputing. But it would be hard for someone who isn’t me to look at that slide and know that. Is that what you’re talking about?

Good alpha. Elephant, Ant analogy is innovative (for me)

How about some examples for these slides? (as some notes)
1. Too Dangerous
2. Time taking
3. Too Complex
4. Way beyond available tools
5. HPC affecting us in many ways that we don’t realize
