HPC sessions at VMworld US 2014

Considering the number of sessions up for vote:

there were considerably fewer accepted sessions but still a few to pay attention to next week, either in your schedule or to review after the conference is over.  This is a short-list since it's last minute and my apologies if I'm missing a session so please let me know in the comments or twitter.  As a rule, I would check the master schedule onsite as times and dates may change.  In addition, during TAM day lunch on Sunday, there will be a table with Josh Simons, resident master of HPC in the Office of the CTO, and Matt Herreras, SLED SE manager, to answer informal questions about virtualizing HPC.

INF1466: High-Performance Computing in the Virtualized Datacenter
This customer session was already full for Tuesday, 2-3pm.  It would be great to get a repeat session but no guarantees.  Edmond had in-depth results to share last year and I am looking forward to this one for more real-world experience.

TEX1808: Data Plane Performance for NFV with VMware vSphere and Intel DPDK
