Industry Leaders to Examine Low Latency Solutions for Grid Computing at HPC on Wall Street

Intel, Lehman, Platform Computing, GemStone Systems, Wombat and Reuters to Discuss Current Evolution

Who: Representatives from industry leaders Lehman Brothers, Intel, Platform Computing, GemStone Systems, Wombat and Reuters.  The speakers will be Thanos Mitsolides, SVP, Fixed Income Technology and Analytics for Lehman Brothers; Chris Purpura, VP, New Ventures for Platform Computing; Shankar Iyer, EVP, Strategy for GemStone Systems; Danny Moore, COO for Wombat Financial Software; and Brian Theodore, Head of Emerging Technology, Enterprise Division for Reuters.

What: Moderated by Nigel Woodward, Director, Financial Services Solutions Marketing for Intel; the “Optimizing the performance – latency equation, navigating the technology combinations” panel will feature Thanos Mitsolides from Lehman Brothers and discuss low latency issues in high performance computing (HPC) and the challenges of developing to meet new, more stringent customer requirements.  As companies demand low cost open source software and interoperability, HPC vendors must reengineer their offerings to provide the optimal answer to each requirement.  Among the options now available to designers looking for higher operating efficiency are new chip designs, data grids and standards integrated into the infrastructure.

The panel will allow audience members to participate in a debate between leading high performance computing innovators who can reference their existing success with end-users such as Lehman Brothers and discuss the various approaches to optimization.
