these notes have the specific naming conventions that will help us
talk about the thread model. I'll also be posting the programming
manual and other slides from a CUDA tutorial. But I won't keep
sending a per-post message.

SSorry for the late notice. I walked out to find my car with a flat
tire this morning, and I live down in Boulder.

We'll have regular class on Wednesday September 17th

If anyone gets this message and is already at class, could you write a
message on the blackboard.

I just got this email after driving to Ft. Collins:



With regret, Dan will not be able to speak at tomorrow's seminar. What
was thought to be a cold worsened over the weekend and has progressed
to a point where he is not able to travel.

He is very apologetic for this late cancellation and will be in
contact with you as soon as he is able.

Ugh. :(

Sorry for the last minute news.

We'll have class on Wednesday at the regular time; 9:00 in Military
Sciences. John Stratton will be talking.

[Connors]

Will post John Stratton's today...
