DOE laboratories, researchers to showcase high performance computing expertise
When the world’s leading experts in high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis convene in Reno, Nevada November 10-16, much of the scientific and technical program will reflect the expertise of researchers sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE) at national laboratories and universities across the country. 
WHO: DOE Under Secretary for Science Raymond L. Orbach
WHAT: Plenary talk: “The American Competitiveness Initiative: Role of High End Computation”
WHEN: Wednesday, November 14, 8:30 a.m.
WHERE: Room C-4, Reno-Sparks Convention Center WHO: 2006 Nobel Laureate George Smoot, astrophysicist at DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
WHAT: Plenary talk: “Cosmology's Present and Future Computational Challenges”
WHEN: Wednesday, November 14, 9:15 a.m.
WHERE: Room C-4, Reno-Sparks Convention Center Throughout the course of the four-day SC07 technical program, DOE-supported researchers will have a role in:
• 18 of the 54 peer-reviewed technical papers
• 5 of the 7 panel discussions
• 10 of the 25 tutorial sessions
• 6 of the 10 workshops
• 2 of the 15 invited “Masterworks” talks
• 13 of the 45 research posters Also, the prestigious Sidney Fernbach Computer Science and Engineering Award will be presented to Columbia University Prof. David Keyes, the leader of a DOE project to develop software to more efficiently solve problems involving partial differential equations. The project is part of DOE’s Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC program). The SC conference also sponsors a series of competitive computing activities, in which DOE-supported researchers are among the finalists. For the Gordon Bell Prize, given annually to recognize outstanding achievement in computing performance, two of the four finalist teams include DOE scientists. In the Analytics Challenge, which highlights the analysis and visualization of massive data sets, one of the two finalist teams includes DOE researchers. In the Storage Challenge, which showcases effective approaches using storage subsystems of high performance computing systems, two of the four finalists include DOE members. In the Bandwidth Challenge, which emphasizes moving large amounts of data across networks, one of the seven finalist teams includes DOE researchers. Additionally, many of DOE’s national laboratories will display their computational science achievements, as will a number of universities with DOE research partnerships. SC07, the international conference on high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis, is chaired by Becky Verastegui, Director of the Information Technology Services Division at DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The list of DOE-related papers, panel discussions, tutorial sessions, workshops, “Masterworks” talks and research posters, is available at www.scidac.gov/DOE-SC07long.doc.
