| What will I gain from this? Hands-on experience in coding for the Cell processor with experts from IBM, Mercury, and RapidMind at your side. No question is too dumb, no challenge too great. Bring a cluster application, optimism, and enthusiasm. In addition to a discount to the Power Architecture Developers Conference, all attendees will receive a "Hack-a-thon II" T-shirt and Yellow Dog Linux flexible flier (cloth 'frisbee') or coffee mug. |
Who is attending? An anticipated 100 individuals from DoE labs, universities, corporations, Terra Soft Solutions, IBM, Mercury Computer, and RapidMind. |
| What is the working environment? Hosted in the new Austin Convention Center, Ballroom G, Hack-a-thon II will be maintained in a similar casual environment as the first Hack-a-thon where individuals are encouraged to find a cozy corner, snuggle up with their own laptop and/or PS3, and get to work. |
All work and no play? NO WAY! Terra Soft and Power.org are hosting a number of game boxes: Nintendo Wiis, XBox 360s, PS3s. And of course, Austin is home to fantastic food, music, and outdoor activities. A cultural, educational, and technological epicenter.

| What is provided? What do I need to bring? Terra Soft will provide direct access to a Sony PS3 cluster. Participants should bring their own laptop with both wireless card and ethernet jack and if they desire, a PS3. |
What is the cost? All attendees of the Hack-a-thon II must register for the Power Architecture Developer Conference. However! As a sponsor of both events, Power.org is providing a substantial discount to all Hack-a-thon II attendees. To register for both Hack-a-thon II and the DevCon, START HERE. |
