of clusters for high-performance computing.
The HPC Revolution 2004 was the premier international forum that shared
information on management, administration, and scientific computing techniques
on clusters. The conference featured speakers from academia, research
labs, and industry involved in cluster -based high-performance computing.
These speakers addressed efforts to integrate and develop science and
engineering applications for clusters, in order to achieve maximum performance
and scalability.
The conference program committee solicited novel
papers, practical tutorials, and insightful technical presentations
on
a broad
range of
topics related
to systems integration, operation and support, end-user applications,
tools, and experiences.
Topics of interest included
(but were not limited to) the following:
- Development of Highly Scalable Applications
- Porting Experiences
- Performance Evaluation, Analysis, and Optimization
- High-Performance Applications and Libraries
- Performance Tools
- User Environments
- Compilers
- Clusters in Education
- Production Management of HPC Linux Clusters
- Clusters in Data Centers
