VISUALIZATION

The 8th LCI International Conference on High-Performance Clustered Computing is organized for users, administrators, and developers of clustered computers for high-performance computing (HPC). The conference will be held May 14-17, 2007, in South Lake Tahoe, California, USA, at the Embassy Suites Hotel. This conference is the premier international forum to share information on management, administration, and scientific computing techniques on clusters. This four-day event, including conference and tutorials, will feature a broad range of presentations and papers from HPC and large-scale clustered computing professionals in industry, academia, and government. Speakers will address efforts to integrate and develop science and engineering applications for large-scale clusters, to achieve maximum performance and scalability. The technical program will include both peer-reviewed paper presentations and discipline- and industry-specific sessions offering researchers and industry leaders the opportunity to present their experiences with applications, tools, user environments, and administration of large-scale clusters. Presentations from industry are specifically invited. The conference program committee is soliciting novel papers, insightful technical presentations and practical tutorials on a broad range of topics related to systems integration, operation and support, end user applications, tools, education, and experiences. The conference divides sessions into "Introductory," "Intermediate," and "Advanced" content to best cater to the breadth of experience of attendees and encourages submissions in all three of these areas. The conference also features a session on education topics. These areas include teaching of clustered computing and undergraduate and graduate programs that feature clustered computing. Educators are encouraged to submit papers detailing unique course level and programmatic level teaching efforts they have instituted around growing needs for clustered computing competent graduates. For detailed information on submitting papers, presentations, tutorials or briefs, please see the conference at: its Web site.
