Virtual Machine symposia. JVM '01 and JVM '02 provided venues for presenting top-quality research on Java. Virtual Machines, facilitated the interaction between compiler writers and virtual machine developers, and were well attended from both academia and industry. In 2004, the scope of the symposium will expand beyond that of the first and second symposia to encompass other types of virtual machines, such as Microsoft's .NET initiative, and low-level virtual machines/environments such as VMware, Connectix Virtual PC, and SWSoft Virtuozzo. May 17-20, 2004 Workshop on OpenMP Applications and Tools (WOMPAT 04) Houston, Texas http://www.tlc2uh.edu/WOMPAT2004 WOMPAT 2004 is the latest in a series of workshops on topics related to OpenMP that take place at locations in North America. The Workshop on OpenMP Applications and Tools (WOMPAT 2004) will serve as a forum for users and developers of OpenMP to meet, share ideas and experiences, and to discuss the latest developments in OpenMP and its applications. May 18-20, 2004 The 5th International Conference on Linux Clusters: The HPC Revolution 2004 Austin, Texas http://www.linuxclustersinstitute.org/Linux-HPC-Revolution The Linux Clusters: the HPC Revolution 2004 Conference is the premier international conference on Linux clusters. This world-class event focuses on the application, management, and scientific computing techniques for high-performance Linux clusters. The four-day event features the conference and a full day of tutorials, deep in the heart of Texas, at the Texas Advanced Computing Center at the University of Texas at Austin. May 23-27, 2004 SGIUG 2004 Conference Orlando, FL http://www.sgi.com/events/sgiug2004.html The SGI User Group will be conducting a special 4-day technical conference in Orlando, Florida, USA. This year's conference is a tremendous opportunity for you to join with SGI users from around the world and across multiple industries to share interests and ideas, and see the very latest technologies in action. May 24-26, 2004 Grid Today 2004 (Gt04) Philadelphia, PA http://www.gridtoday.com/04/conference/index.htm Gt'04 -- a premiere enterprise grid computing conference targeting industrial and commercial users -- will gather experts, and outline strategies and road maps for Grid deployment. Grid Today 2004 will bring together three communities, academia, government agencies and private enterprise to explore the benefits of Grid computing. Backed by Global Grid Forum and Globus, and with a joint event planned for 2005, Gt'04 will take a major step in unifying the strengths of the three communities. JUNE ^^^^ **June 4-6, 2004 HPDC-13 The Leading Technical Conference on Grids & Distributed Computing Honolulu, Hawaii USA www.hpdc13.cs.ucsb.edu The Thirteenth IEEE International Symposium on High-Performance Distributed Computing will be a forum for presenting the latest research findings on the design and use of highly networked systems for computing, collaboration, data analysis, and other innovative tasks. HPDC-13 will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii (USA) in conjunction with the 11th Global Grid Forum Meeting, the international body to promote communication, best practices, and standards in Grid computing. **June 4-6, 2004 GGF11 Building Foundations for Enterprise Grids Honolulu, Hawaii USA www.ggf.org The Global Grid Forum (GGF) is a community-initiated forum of thousands of individuals from industry and research leading the global standardization effort for grid computing. GGF's primary objectives are to promote and support the development, deployment, and implementation of Grid technologies and applications via the creation and documentation of "best practices" - technical specifications, user experiences, and implementation guidelines. JULY ^^^^ **July 27-29, 2004 Cluster Symposium 2004 On the Use of Commodity Clusters for Large-Scale Scientific Applications Tysons Corner, VA http://www.arl.hpc.mil/Clusters2004 Hosted by the Army Research Laboratory Major Shared Resource Center (ARL MSRC), Raytheon, and the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC), this year's international program will address challenges associated with the rapidly expanding interest and acceptance of the use of commodity computer clusters for scientific applications. The symposium will explore the suitability of these clusters to operate within a heterogeneous production computing environment to solve very large scientific applications requiring extensive computer resources and execution times. Concerns addressed will include: life-cycle costs, system stability, and system management and administration. Unsubscribe-Ref: hpcoc3055
