HPCwire Announces 2006 "People to Watch"

HPCwire has announced the release of their annual "People to Watch" list, recognizing some of the most influential and interesting luminaries driving the changing landscape of high performance computing. The members of this group, who are determined by a selection committee that includes past People to Watch as well as a long list of advisors for the publication, features educators, researchers, and industry veterans who are making significant contributions to the cause of high performance computing.

"It's a tremendous honor to be able to take time each year to recognize and highlight the people who are moving the dynamic field of high performance computing forward," said Tom Tabor, founder of Tabor Communications, publisher of HPCwire and GRIDtoday. "I feel passionate about the importance of honoring the work and achievements that these dedicated thought leaders are accomplishing as they move this important industry forward. Ultimately, it's not only technology that is being advanced by their efforts, but through that technology they are moving humanity forward. We believe in this industry and the power it has to profoundly affect our lives and our futures, and applaud the efforts of those selected as the 2006 People to Watch in HPC."
