INDUSTRY

Streamline Computing, UK experts in clustering and software tools for high-performance computing, are organizing an Independent High Performance Computing Seminar to discuss future directions in HPC at the National Space Centre, Leicester, UK on September 30th 2004. HPC is at a major crossroads. Cluster capabilities are at unprecedented levels and new technologies and applications have led to new challenges. As the former mainstays of the Linux community have become increasingly commercially focussed, it has become vital that academia, government and industry are able to address their HPC strategy with access to the best information. Streamline have organized a panel of industry experts from around the world and will be inviting feedback at the seminar, which is aimed at removing uncertainty, and involving and informing the UK HPC community. Topics including the future of 64-bit computing, interconnects, free open source operating systems and cluster management will be address in this one day event.
