These were the topics being discussed by over 40 people at the March 15th event hosted by STLhpc.net at Missouri History Museum in St. Louis. This free, public event was organized Gary Stiehr, the founder of STL.hpc and a research computing manager at WashU Genome Center.
Below are the agenda of the event and speaker.
- An Overview of how Big Data, HPC & Cloud in Smarter Cities (Frank Lee, Ph.D IBM Senior IT Architect)
- Leveraging Distributed Computing to Enhance Customer and Visitor Relationship Management (John Leach, CEO at Incite Retail)
- Smart Cities: Where Transportation Research Meets High Performance Computing (Gary Stiehr, Founder, STLhpc.net)
- Applying Distributed Computing to SmartGrid (Brad Molander, Technology Evangelist at NISC) Electrical grids across the nation have recently been deploying modernized assets such as smart meters that produce enormous amounts of data. NISC over the last two years has designed, engineered and deployed an internal private cloud environment to support the modern data needs of SmartGrid initiatives. This presentation will cover some some fundamentals of smart grid as well as illustrate the challenges and benefits of private cloud environments.
The topics I covered in my presentation including some that I've blogged about:
- Deep Thunder Weather Forecast at Rio - HPC for Smart City
- Watson Takes on Cancer Research - HPC & Big Data
- Wings Beneath the Wind - HPC & Big Data
- People's Oscar - HPC & Social Media Analytics
