This past Thursday, April Fools!, I had the honor of speaking at Exxon Mobil’s Technical Software Development conference in Houston. We were one of four external vendors invited to present and later do demos at this all-Exxon event. It was all proprietary so they put a black hood on me, took me to the room after many spins and twists and turns, I gave my presentation, then they hooded me again and escorted me back out of the building.  My talk was right after Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup on C++ and C++0x; definitely a tough act to follow but I did my best.

“One part agile software development, two parts parallel, many-core: Helping Exxon Mobil to reach for higher performance.”
