The workshop is scheduled for July 19-20, 2004, at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. Representatives from all industries and sectors, including corporations, universities, and government agencies, are invited to attend. Space is limited. Registration is required by July 9, 2004, and can be accomplished by submitting the form at http://www.tc.cornell.edu/services/edu/events/winHPC/. ** July 20-22, 2004 HPC Asia 2004 Omiya Sonic City, Tokyo http://www.hpcc.jp/HPCAsia2004/ HPC ASIA is an international conference series held every 18 months on an Asia-Pacific regional site. It provides a forum for HPC researchers, developers, and users throughout the world to exchange ideas, case studies, and research results related to all issues of high performance computing. HPC Asia 2004 will emphasize trends in Grid computing technology in addition to high performance computing technology. Grid computing enables the virtualization of distributed computing and data resources such as processing, network bandwidth and storage capacity to create a single unified resources for high performance computing. 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. AUGUST ^^^^^^ ** August 7-8, 2004 ACM Workshop on General Purpose Computing using GPUs Los Angeles, CA http://www.cs.unc.edu/GP2 Given the increasing power and usage of commodity GPUs, many researchers are using them for general-purpose computation. This workshop will bring together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, research labs and industry working in computer graphics, scientific computation, high performance computing, computer architecture and related areas. The program will consist of invited talks, panels and poster presentations. Unsubscribe-Ref: hpcoi2900
