They plan on bringing one of their seventy two core/processor Catapult desktop systems to the Le Figaro Cafe in Greenwich Village. The Catapult, is a true Linux parallel/cluster machine that provides the user with 72 processors with a power draw of only 250Watts. (It can be plugged into a standard electrical service, like those found in the back of a Cafe in Greenwich Village).
When was the last time you had 72 processors at your disposal to create your killer app! For more information, see the NYCA-HUG page. The is meeting will

Monday Night (November 12) after the Gayla you don't want to miss the SC07 LECCIBG pool tournament (pool playing is not required). Those of you that have attended these in the past know the drill. Most people usually don't get arrested. Check out the cool invite.
Tuesday Night (November 13) The equally infamous Annual Beowulf Bash will be held at Third Street Blues in downtown Reno from 6-8pm. The club is close to several of the conference hotels, but you'll need one of the conference shuttle buses from the Sparks convention center. The address is 3rd Street Blues, 125 W 3rd St, Reno, NV Next to the ElDorado Casino, (on-street parking readily available). And let's not forget the sponsors: Penguin/Scyld, AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, and Terascala.

From the shameless plug department
Wondering about those Intel Quad-cores? You know those things called Clovertowns (soon to be known as the 5300 series.) If you are not thinking about such things, you probably should be because multi-core is here for the second time. (get it).
For the last month or so I have been poking, prodding, and running two dual socket quad-core 1U nodes from Appro. That is 16 cores total. The nodes are connected by GigE and Mellanox Infiniband. So what did I find?
