I wish it was announced more that half an hour ahead of time. I would have  
gone, but I just saw this.

I see there is a newsfeed on nwcpp.org which I've now subscribed to. I  
should be able to make it to future meetings as long as they are posted  
ahead of time to the feed.

The website has a new post for a June meeting now, but there is no date or  
time posted. I e-mailed the contact e-mail address about this, but I got a  
delivery failure notification so the address must be out of date. Does  
anybody know when the June meeting is?

Thanks,

Here's the announcement for the June meeting. I plan on attending, I think
it'll 
be fun. Of course, it will be great to see there as many of our D community as 
can come! (Afterwards, we go out for a drink & some food at the local watering 
hole.)

=======================================================================
Next week Gavriel Plotke will be talking about the harnessing of the
power of the graphics chip as a massively parallel supercomputer that
sits, mostly idly (uless we play a lot of games, that is), inside most
computers.

Title: Massive Multithreading on the GPU. GigaFlops or...  TeraFlops?

Speaker: Gavriel Plotke, Microsoft Senior SDET

Date: Wednesday, June 16the

Place: Microsoft Eastside Campus, Bldg 41, Townsend (see our website
www.nwcpp.org for directions).

Abstract:

The modern GPU is a massively parallel supercomputer that has 2 orders
of magnitude more processing power then a single CPU Core. But the
threading model is very different than the CPU. Don't get left behind
on knowing about this different paradigm.

Bio:
I've been with Microsoft for 3 years on the DirectX High Level Shader
Language compiler test team. I've been a champion of the new Compute
Shader features of DirectX11. While I have some graphics background,
it was my assembler language and compiler writing background that got
me the job.  Early in my career I worked on the internals of a
mainframe spreadsheet product as a competitor to VisiCalc and
Lotus123.  It was a time when everyone in a big office would have a
mainframe terminal and no one had a PC.  It was a great product, but
time moved on, and Excel on inexpensive PCs ate our lunch. After that
I spent a many years doing business contract work - different
projects, different platforms, lots of database design.  Now I help
support programming on today's supercomputer, the modern graphics
card.
