Matthew Papakipos, chief technology officer and founder of PeakStream, has been invited to give a presentation, "Harnessing Next-Generation Processors," and also participate in an HPC panel at the University of Utah's Scientific Supercomputing with Cells, GPUs, FPGAs and Multi-Core CPUs conference. His main talk will focus on how multi-core processors can be easily and efficiently leveraged for scientific computing. PeakStream is a leading software application platform provider for High Performance Computing. PeakStream founder and CTO Matthew Papakipos will discuss how next-generation multi-core processors, including multi-core CPUs, GPUs and the Cell processor, can be harnessed to benefit scientific supercomputing using the PeakStream Platform, a software platform designed for High Performance Computing applications. Papakipos will also be participating in a panel discussion and a Q&A alongside other event speakers, including representatives from UTAM, Brigham Young University, BP and Xilinx. What: The University of Utah Scientific Supercomputing conference is held annually and sponsored by the Utah Tomography and Modeling/Migration (UTAM) Consortium. Talk Details: Learn how the full potential and benefits of the next generation of multi-core CPUs, GPUs and the Cell processor can be leveraged for geophysical research and scientific problems. Discover how scientists and researchers can easily take advantage of these new, blazingly fast processors with the PeakStream Platform's seamless programming capabilities, resulting in enormous productivity gains and cost reduction. Understand the implications of High Performance Computing for a variety of scientific functions, including protein sequencing and computed tomography for mapping underground reserves and medical imaging and research. When: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 11:30 am - 12:15 pm: "Harnessing Next-Generation Processors" 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm: Panel Discussion and Q&A The Scientific Supercomputing with Cells, GPUs, FPGAs and Multi-Core CPUs event will be held in the INSCC Auditorium at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. This event precedes the Utah Tomography and Modeling/Migration's (UTAM) Annual Meeting, scheduled for February 1 and 2, 2007.
