<p class="MsoNormal">I really do think that we are on the brink of seeing a new paradigm for memory on big machines.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Maybe I will eat my words!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I also went to a very good talk by Rik Wheeler of Redhat at FOSDEM over the weekend, on persistent memory.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As an aside, the HPC developer room at FOSDEM was a great success, and is sure to be repeated next year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If any Beowulfers are there next year, we should arrange to consume beers.<o:p></o:p></p>
