  • That would be incredible. Any chance you would be willing to demo something?

  • Fantastic! Look forward to meeting you in Tokyo. What have you done with the Parallella board so far?

  • Awesome, see you there!

  • Cool, see you in Tokyo!

  • Great! Look forward to finally meeting in person!

  • Atif Zafar says:

  • Kazuto MATSUI says:

    PTC might be interesting …
    Are you coming to Tokyo ? Definitely, I will go.
    I can tell you some of the biz strategies.
    Since I was working at Inmos for transputing.
    I might ask you why occam is not supported yet ?

    Kaz

  • Kaz,
    Of course I am coming! Really happy to meet someone who worked at Inmos. Everything has changed, but nothing has changed.:-)
    Some folks have run occam at Halmstad University already, Check the academic paper section of forums.parallella.org.
    In terms of officially supporting occam as a language, I am all for it but I don’t have the resources to support it internally.

    Look forward to meeting in Tokyo!

    Hi Ohta-San,

    Any update the information?
    I wait for info about day, time, and location if the conference plan is decided.

    Best Regards,

  • Shigeyuki Takano says:

    Hi Olofsson-San,

    Can you do a presentation about adaptive storage at the conference if time is available?

    Best Regards,
    Shigeyuki Takano

    I’m currently in Tokio, and I’ll do my best to be there. Hope to see you 🙂

  • Cool stuff!
    If you are ever in Taiwan just shout, we’d love to have you over at the Taipei Hackerspace! 🙂

  • BKH says:

    I’ll be there and am really looking forward to learning more about Parallella.

  • Cliff Surgeoner says:

    Have downloaded, image for Z7010 parallella desktop version, burned an SD card (8GB), inserted it into my parallella and booted up the board but see nothing on the monitor.
    How can I tell whether the board has booted up correctly?
    Have sent ping requests but no replies are received from the parallella.
    I would very much like to make my parallella available to be a part of the supercomputer but the instructions contain no hints as to steps to take if a problem seems to exist.
    Would appreciate some email help if possible.
    Many thanks

  • Prithwee Bhat says:

    It would be a great opportunity to attend this conference. I am looking forward to meetings with many of you.

    What the heck happened to the demoing of the supercomputing.io ???

    I put units online just for this demo and when I look at the stats… they were never touched….
