HPC Symposium 2009 to be held in Mar del Plata (Argentina)
The Argentina Society of Computer Science (SADIO), in collaboration with Intel and the University of Buenos Aires, will held the Second High-Performance Symposium (HPC 2009) as part of the 38th Argentina Multi-Conference on Computer Science (38 JAIIO) on August 26-27, 2009. The use and development of High-Performance Computing (HPC) in Latin America is steadily growing. New challenges come from the new capabilities provided by clusters, grids, and distributed systems for HPC, promoting research and innovation in this area.
The main goal of HPC2009 is to provide a regional forum fostering the growth of the HPC community in Latin America through the exchange and dissemination of new ideas, techniques, and research in HPC. As in its first edition, the symposium will feature invited talks from academy and industry, tutorials, short- and full-paper sessions presenting both mature work and new ideas in research and industrial applications.
This year’s venue, Mar del Plata is the biggest seaside beach resort in Argentina and it’s located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, 249 miles south of Buenos Aires. The city is connected to Buenos Aires (the capital of Argentina) by plane, bus, and train.
