The Innovative Computing Laboratory (ICL) aspires to be a world leader in enabling technologies and software for scientific computing. Our vision is to provide high performance tools to tackle sciences most challenging problems and to play a major role in the development of standards for scientific computing in general.

The ICL is part of the computer science department at the University of Tennessee and serves as the cornerstone laboratory of the Center for Information Technology Research (CITR), one of UT's nine Centers of Excellence.

Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products. Additional information about Intel is available at www.intel.com.

LinuxHPC.org is a Web site for system administrators, developers, and enterprise managers, offering recent industry news, events, mailing lists and links, all related to high-performance technical computing and clustering with Linux.

LinuxHPC.org is a community-based portal providing information on one subject: Linux high-performance computing. It is part of a small network of technical Web sites that are managed and maintained by Ken Farmer.

Linux Journal is the premier magazine of the Linux community, dedicated to serving the Linux community and promoting the use of Linux world-wide.

The Pablo academic research group is a part of the Department of Computer Science (DCS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Members of the group investigate the interaction of architecture, system software, and applications on large-scale parallel and distributed computer systems.

The Pablo group works closely with a large number of national collaborators in academia, at the national laboratories, and in the commercial computing arena. We are seeking new graduate students, post-doctoral research associates, and professional staff members to participate in these exciting projects.

The Paradyn Parallel Program Performance Tools project explores new approaches to building scalable tools for parallel program performance. Paradyn provides decision support for the tool user. Paradyn assists the user in deciding which bottlenecks to look for; in fact, Paradyn can search automatically to isolate performance bottlenecks, and then explain them to the user using descriptions or visualizations.
