Climate Simulation, Heterogeneous Computing And Data Intensive Computing As Technology Focus Areas
NEW ORLEANS -- SC10 ,the premier international conference on highâ€performance computing, networking, storage and analysis, is now accepting submissions for its technical program.
The 23rd annual conference in the series, SC10 will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana from November 13–19, 2010. More than 11,000 attendees from industry, academia and government are anticipated.
“The SC Conference Technical program has become internationally renowned as the preeminent forum for discovering, debating and demonstrating innovative advances in highâ€performance computing, networking, storage and analysis,” said Barry Hess, General Chair of SC10 and Deputy CIO at Sandia National Labs.
Drawing on expertise from the international HPC community, SC10 will build on over two decades of success offering a broad spectrum of technical presentations and discussions including rigorously peerâ€reviewed papers, panels, tutorials, workshops and posters showcasing the latest findings from laboratories and research institutions around the world.
This year, the technical program encourages participants to focus on one of three thrust areas to be featured prominently at the conference: climate simulation, heterogeneous computing and dataâ€intensive computing.
Climate simulation spotlights the tremendous importance of research in global climate change, including HPCâ€based climate simulation techniques which help scientists understand global warming, climate change and other environmental processes.
SC10 ’s other thrusts highlight important emerging HPC technologies.
Heterogeneous computing covers the technological and research advances in software that are required for acceleratorâ€based computing, which is now occurring on largeâ€scale machines and could propel supercomputing to the exascale level, where machines are capable of running a million trillion calculations per second.
As scientists depend more and more on supercomputing in their research, they are generating massive amounts of data that must be shared, stored and analyzed by teams of remotely located collaborators.
This global trend underlines the importance of dataâ€intensive computing, SC10 ’s third main thrust, highlighting research into innovative solutions for managing data across distributed highâ€performance computing systems, especially hardware and software requirements for effective data transfer.
“Each year we build on the strength of the SC conference programs before and our horizons continue to expand,” said Ricky Kendall, SC10 Technical Program Chair and Group Leader, Scientific Computing at Oak Ridge National Laboratory . “This year we’ll focus on the growing field of climate simulation, which seems especially appropriate for our venue in New Orleans. And as more scientific disciplines â€like climate research â€rely on HPC Technologies to enable their research and collaborations, emerging innovations in heterogeneous computing and data intensive computing will be critical components to achieving new scientific breakthroughs.”
