TechEd09: How parallel is the Microsoft conference?

By Michael J Huelskoetter (68 posts) on November 6, 2009 at 4:26 am

If you look at the Microsoft's Tech-Ed web page you'll find out that there's a lot of things which are parallel. For instance all the different tech session run in parallel so that as much as possible topics can be covered during Tech-Ed. But also the huge showcase is somehow parallel: there are many companies like Intel and others on the floor showing their latest and greatest technologies and solutions at the same time.

But, and that's what I found really interesting are the tech sessions which cover different topics being related to the parallel programming. There are dedicated sessions regarding this:

On Monday Tiberiu Covaci will talk about "Is the future of programming a parallel one?" He will find out which chip manufacturer drive the multicore market.

On Tuesday Tiberiu will have another session with the title "Why should you care about Multi-core programming". If you are familiar with all our blog posts I'm sure you can tell the answer right away!

Tiberiu is really a busy guy as on Wednesday he will climb the stage again and present "The Future of Parallel Programming". I'm sure this man is worth getting him interviewed after one of his sessions (or beforehand).

Thank god there are other presenters who are familiar with the parallel stuff. Like Anthony Howcroft who will talk on Wednesday about "Microsoft SQL Server Project Code Name "Madison". Madison is MPP which stands for Massively Parallel Processing. Got it?!

On Wednesday our dear old friend Steve has his session with the title "Parallel Computing for Managed Developers". This sounds like real fun.

So, if you wanna learn more about parallel computing at Microsoft Tech-Ed Europe 2009 you should go to Berlin next week - or watch this space for more parallel information yet to come!
