APPLICATIONS

How parallel applications use I/O in HPC systems is just one area Gary Grider of the Los Alamos National Laboratory will cover in his presentation, "HPC I/O Roadmap: The Next Five Years," at the 8th LCI International Conference on High Performance Clustered Computing to be held May 15-17 in South Lake Tahoe, California. Grider’s presentation will also give a survey of many of the more difficult current and emerging issues for the HPC I/O and file systems area. This is just one of the many topics that will be covered during the conference, a four-day event that includes a conference, pre-conference tutorials, vendor presentations, and ample networking opportunities. The technical program focuses on experiences with applications, tools, user environments and administration of large-scale clusters across a vast array of sectors. The conference attracts the world's top practitioners of cluster computing who gather to share experiences and update colleagues on the latest developments in the field. Register NOW!
