Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing 2008
By Beverly Bachmayer (Intel) (4 posts) on October 2, 2008 at 11:19 am
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing 2008 conference began this morning at Keystone resort in Colorado. Last evening during the newcomers workshop the Ann Chandon indicated that this is the largest Women in Computing conference ever with 1433 attendees from 23 countries and representing 103 companies and 199 universities.
This morning Fran Allen (2006 A. M. Turing award winner) during the Plenary address called out the challenge we are facing in the new multicore processor environment. She said 'that the current software cannot provide the parallism needed for the new challenge' and she compared the multicore systems today as parallel hammer and challenged the 1433 attendees in the room to use that hammer. Talk in the hallways and in many sessions echos Fran's comments, leading to discussions about parallel programing among the attendees.
Next up is the CTO panel discussion where Intel is represented by Justin Rattner.
