Registration for free conference open until July 10: Alan D. George, director of the National Science Foundation Center for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing (CHREC) and a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida, will give the keynote talk at the 2007 Reconfigurable Systems Summer Institute (RSSI'07), which will be held July 18-20 at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) on the Urbana-Champaign campus of the University of Illinois. George's talk, "Reconfigurable Computing: From Satellites to Supercomputers," will describe how high-performance reconfigurable computing (HPRC) has grown to become one of the most promising new directions for advanced computational technologies. He will focus on opportunities and challenges in reconfigurable computing from the perspective of CHREC, including case studies that range from satellites to supercomputers. RSSI'07 will also feature presentations and demonstrations from leading HPRC researchers and developers in business and academia. The conference will be preceded by workshops and user meetings sponsored by Nallatech, SGI/Mitrionics, and SRC on July 17. The agenda is available online at its Web site. To register for RSSI'07 and the co-located workshops, go to its Web site. There is no fee to attend RSSI'07, but registration will close on July 10. RSSI'07 is co-sponsored by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, OpenFPGA, and the University of Manchester. Corporate sponsors include: Altera, AMD, Cray, Intel, Mitrionics, Nallatech, SGI, SRC, Xilinx. Questions? Contact rssi@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
