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: hpcof3022
