>> Join New York PHP in this year's pre-Thanksgiving feast of AMP 
>> Technology. An AMD System Engineer
>> will be examining AMP Technology and the AMD64 platform. Stop by our 
>> IBM location to see how 64bits
>> can crank AMP up.
>>
>> AMP Technology and the AMD 64 Architecture
>>
>> With AMD engineer David O'Brien, we'll examine the advantages and 
>> nuances of working with AMP and
>> open source on the new AMD 64 platform.
>>
>> As a primer for the presentation, New York PHP is working with AMD to 
>> understand the best methods for
>> deploying AMP on this exciting new hardware platform. 32bit is so 
>> very last decade, and thanks to
>> NYPHP's Michael DeWitt and representatives from AMD, we've been 
>> testing AMP Technology on a
>> complimentary dual AMD64 server.
>>
>> New York PHP's President and Founder, Hans Zaunere, is working with 
>> the PHP-Internal list and
>> discussing getting PHP up to par on lib64 systems. See Zends digest 
>> for the work Hans and others have
>> been doing on taking AMP to the 64 bit platform.
>>
>> As part of this NYPHP initiative, Hans has been documenting the 
>> complete steps, pitfalls, and gotchas
>> of deploying AMP to lib64 platforms, including operating system 
>> installation notes for SuSE and Red
>> Hat. Part of NYPHP's soon to be announced AMPeers project, he'll be 
>> publishing detailed articles and
>> sharing his experiences on how to deploy on this next generation 
>> platform.
>>
>> Don't be left behind; learn how you can shatter 32bit limitations and 
>> be prepared for the next
>> generation of hardware.
>>
>> Enjoy turkey in two days, but save room beforehand for AMD & AMP.
>>
>> Platinum sponsor IBM has provided a great room with seating for 
>> plenty.
