Today, during a keynote at the Professional Developers Conference 2008, Ray Ozzie, Microsoft’s Chief Software Architect, announced Windows® Azure™ the cloud-based service foundation underlying the Microsoft Azure™ Services Platform.
The Azure™ Services Platform is an industry leading move by Microsoft to help developers build the next generation of applications that will span from the cloud to the enterprise data center and deliver compelling new experiences across the PC, web and phone.
The Azure™ Services Platform is an internet-scale cloud computing and services platform hosted in Microsoft data centers.
The Azure Services Platform provides a range of functionality to build applications that span from consumer web to enterprise scenarios and includes a cloud operating system and a set of developer services.
On my lecture at Dev academy I am going to give an overview on Microsoft Azure platform and why to use it.
Enjoy

Agenda
14:00-14:15: OPENING - Avner & Guy
14:15-15:00: High-Performance and Productivity Computing with Windows HPC
Mr. Doron Caspin, Architect Evangelist, Microsoft Israel.
Abstract
It's a fact: Windows HPC Server 2008 (HPCS) combines the power of the Windows Server platform with rich, out-of-the-box functionality to help improve the productivity and reduce the complexity of your HPC environment.
Windows HPC Server 2008 can efficiently scale to thousands of processing cores and provides a comprehensive set of deployment, administration, and monitoring tools that are easy to deploy, manage, and integrate with your existing infrastructure.
This lecture will provide an overview on Microsoft HPC solution.
15:00-15:15 Break
15:15-16:00: Introduction to Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB)
Dr. Ami Marowka, Department of Software Engineering, Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Israel.
Abstract
Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) is a C++ template library aiming for developing parallel applications running on top of multi-core processors.
The library consists of building blocks (data structures and algorithms) that free a programmer from some complications arising from the use of native threading mechanisms such as threads creation, synchronization, and termination.
TBB abstracts access to the multiple processors by automating the process of data decomposition to small cache-friendly chunks of data called "tasks", and then schedules them to individual cores dynamically in an efficient manner.
This approach enables the programmer to focus in the program logic rather than in the ways to optimize the program to the underlying machine architecture.
