Sessions, visits and Rock n' Roll Yesterday night we had great time both at the Globus Party and the “First Manchester Italian-Spanish Summit”. This last event took place at Indian Restaurant called “Ashoka” at Portland Street. Dishes are great, exotic and they will surely satisfy you. The plan was to go to pubs/clubs later. The recommendation this time is the club near the restaurant (“This ain't a TV...”-something). It closed nearly at 3.00 am and people there were very friendly.
And today... the codename for me was: “Workflow Session”. I performed a talk about the Fusion Physics application we ported using GridWay (MARATRA: MAssive RAy TRAcing is not a prototype anymore, now it's at production state). I was very satisfied with the feedback given by the public.

Also my colleague Antonio Juan had a talk in that session. In his case, it was about using GridWay for virtualization. He explained how a real life problem (European Space Agency satellite image processing) was solved using this solution and gave experimental results of overheads given by different approaches inside virtualization. Gongratuations, Antonio juan.

The lunch program was to visit the Manchester processor farm. It was a nice visit and we lunched there nearby the machines. Technology, good food and nice chat. What else can be needed?

Even if the day has not finished yet... here we launch a CFP (Call For Participation) for a MMW (Manchester Multicultural Workshop). We'll meet at Palace Manchester Hotel (Oxford Street, remember) at 22.00 zulu. As we'll leave tomorrow morning... Hope to see you there!
