Call for Submissions
2007 Call for Submissions: Submissions
(Papers, Tutorials,
Technical Presentations, Technical
Briefs, and Posters) and Student Submissions
(Papers and Posters)
The 8th LCI International Conference on High-Performance Clustered Computing
is organized by the Linux Clusters Institute (LCI) for users, administrators
and developers of clustered computers for high-performance computing (HPC).
The conference will be held in South Lake Tahoe, California, USA at the Embassy
Suites.
This conference is the premier international forum to share information
on management, administration, and scientific computing techniques on clusters.
The 4-day event, including conference and tutorials, will feature a broad
range of presentations and papers from HPC and large-scale cluster-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 papers
and discipline- and industry-specific presentions 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.
This year’s conference plans to have a session devoted to high-resolution
environmental modeling with talks pertinent to environmental concerns in
the Lake Tahoe basin and the Sierras and a session
on education topics, such as teaching clustered computing
and undergraduate and graduate programs that feature clustered computing.
The committee encourages submissions in these areas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
the following:
- High-Resolution Environmental Modeling
- Snow, Snow Pack, and Avalanche Prediction
- Forest Fire and Forest
Management Modeling
- Run-off, Pollution Control, and Water Clarity
- User
