“Investing in Multicore”

Phil McCaw, Chairman of AANZ (Angel Association New Zealand) and Managing Partner of Movac – a NZ based Angel / Venture Capital firm will be leading the session about “Investing in Multicore” at Multicore World 2012, the inaugural conference about multicore technologies in Australasia.

Movac is an investment manager that backs New Zealand businesses with the potential for rapid and large-scale growth. The raison d’etre of Movac is to back high growth potential businesses that will provide the foundations for the next wave of prosperity for the New Zealand economy.

Open Parallel's initiative of an ecosystem of software communities, industry leaders, academia and entrepreneurs is totally aligned with Movac's vision, therefore it was natural for Phil to join the distinguished speakers at Multicore World.

An ecosystem is only sustainable with the right level of venture capital investment and the New Zealand experience is attracting considerable interest. Jorge Kaplan, Managing Director of Nufami, Inc. based in New York, will be part of this session with his talk: “A Family Office Investing in Multicore”

Open Parallel organises Multicore World 2012, gathering under the same roof, investors, academics, researchers, engineers, software developers and members of industry giants like Intel, Oracle, Microsoft and Cisco to present what Multicore can do for your organisation TODAY.

The main goal of the conference is to provide IT decision makers being C-level executives as well as software community leaders with the knowledge and the connections they need to make valid business and technology decisions in terms of their multicore software and hardware requirements over the coming years.

CFP for Multicore World open till February 20

Multicore and Parallel Computing are here to stay and we should be grateful for that. Computation is better, faster, cheaper and much more power efficient than in the single core days: it also allow us to think on applications and developments that were not possible before, therefore the potential is practically unlimited. Yes, we need to deal with decades and millions of lines of legacy code; we need to build software to exploit the huge opportunities that these new architectures offer but at Multicore World we will show you that it is not that difficult, simply different.

We invite submissions in all areas of Multicore and Parallel Computing, including (but not limited to):

• Latest in-production technologies
• Parallel programming optimised languages
• Specific code and technical developments
• Parallel applications to existent and new industry areas in specific verticals (e.g. oil & gas, games & entertainment, genetics & life sciences, banking & financial modeling, weather prediction, telecommunications & social networks, Big Data and massive scalability, etc.)
• Heterogeneous computing, adaptive and reconfigurable computing
• Cluster, Grid and Cloud Computing
• Business, Management and Productivity changes due to Multicore Technologies

We strongly encourage young developers and researchers to submit their work -even if it is in progress, to benefit from the presence at Multicore World 2012 of the best technologists globally.
