My background in
Parallel computing

experimenting with 8x 6809 CPU's with shared memory
(wire wrapped) developed a RAM
memory bank passing system.
1984
built a cluster of 20+ Commador 64's.
1988 -92 had
opportunity to work on a Cray YMP. Then ported finite element of code
for Maxwell's equations to a SGI 4 CPU SMP box.

Micro Systems I used 384 globally distributed servers to deliver live and
recorded video to 13,000 viewers.
1994 Wells
Fargo I worked on architecture to use 600 HPUX boxes located in the
bank branched to reduce load on the Main Frames.
1995
to Present, have been using cluster of loosely coupled server for
video
