Another year, another Super computing, this year, New Orleans

Well, another year has gone by and another Super computing conference. This years SC14 conference was held in New Orleans. The notable things I found this year, at least things I found interesting where the 8TB archival drive from Seagate, all of the various 3M NOVEC cooling demonstrations, the D-WAVE quantum processor and other items. I grabbed pictures and they’re available below, enjoy!
