My very personal opinion:

Technically lightweight, but a good conference.  Mostly so-so papers
and presentations, lots of industry types and applications folk
(overpowering the academic systems researcher side), but generally
lots of good people around to talk with....  I attended only four
sessions...  but talked with *MANY* good people.  This conference
closely resembles the old Kartashev supercomputing conferences, except
in that this one is IEEE backed and hence is respectable....
