Crowds at NVIDIA’s booth, and I eat crow

Hey, remember when I said this last week about NVIDIA’s booth speaker lineup:

I wish them luck with the crowds, but I think that seating warning may be wishful thinking. The problem with SC is that there is just so much going on that even the best intentions of a mass audience to be in one place get lost in the “how do you do’s” with buddies seldom seen. I’m actually keen for them to have a crowd problem, because then I’ll have a model for how to draw my own crowds if insideHPC ever has a booth. Man, talk about wishful thinking.

Witness the throngs at two of NVIDIA’s talks, one on the Fermi and one from TiTech.
