Dear NERSC users,
Please consider the following meeting.
Thank you,
Richard Gerber
Announcing the 13th annual meeting of ScicomP
http://www.spscicomp.org/
the IBM Scientific System User Group
AND
The Summer 2007 Meeting of SP-XXL
http://www.spxxl.org/
July 16 to 20, 2007
Computer Center Garching (RZG)
Garching, Germany
Meeting web site: http://scicomp.rzg.mpg.de/
IMPORTANT DATES (SP-XXL attendees refer to the SP-XXL web site):
23 April 2007 (Monday) - Deadline for ScicomP Abstracts
15 May 2007 (Tuesday) - ScicomP Author Notification
15 May 2007 (Tuesday) - Registration Opens
29 June 2007 (Friday) - Early Registration Closes
16 July 2007 (Monday) - ScicomP Tutorial(s)
17-20 July 2007 (Tue-Fri) - ScicomP Meeting
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS:
We seek original presentations by HPC application and software
infrastructure developers about recent discoveries, experiences,
and lessons learned on IBM HPC products. Speakers will be chosen
based on 1-page abstracts submitted to the ScicomP13 website
(<URL:http://scicomp.rzg.mpg.de/>) by 23 April.
ABOUT SCICOMP:
ScicomP meetings target computational scientists and engineers
interested in achieving maximum performance and scalability on
all IBM HPC platforms, including the POWER, Linux, BlueGene,
and Cell platforms. Presentations will be given by both HPC users
and IBM staff. The focus of user presentations is on real world
experiences
in porting, tuning, and running codes on large-scale IBM systems.
Topics may include (but are not limited to) code migration, scalable
algorithms, hybrid programming models, exploiting system architectures,
and scheduling and execution frameworks. IBM staff presentations
include hardware and software road maps for large systems; application
development support software tools; performance programming, measurement,
analysis, and tuning techniques.
ABOUT SP-XXL:
Garching will also host the SP-XXL (<URL:http://www.spxxl.org>) as a
co-located meeting on July 16-20. The SP-XXL is an organization
with interests in large-scale scientific technical
computing on IBM hardware. Information about the SP-XXL meeting will be
available on the private SP-XXL web site.
ABOUT RZG
The Garching Computing Center (Rechenzentrum Garching, RZG) is the joint
supercomputing center of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP)
and the Max Planck Society (MPG), offering services for Max Planck
Institutes
all over Germany. Beginning with the installation of an IBM 7090
supercomputer in 1962, RZG has provided supercomputing, data
management/mass storage, and data acquisition capabilities for more than
four decades. RZG currently hosts a 5.2 TFlop/s IBM Power 4-based p690
system with an HPS "Federation Switch" and an 86-node Power 5-based
p575 cluster.
Installation of an IBM Power 6-based 100+ TFlop/s system is expected in
2008. In addition, a 2-rack next generation IBM BlueGene system is
expected for the end of 2007. Application support is given to Max Planck
Institutes with high-end computing needs in fusion research, materials
science,
theoretical chemistry, polymer research, astrophysics, earth sciences
and other
fields. RZG is involved in several national and international
projects, e.g.
the DEISA project (Distributed European Infrastructure for Supercomputing
Applications) and the German eScience D-Grid project.

ABOUT GARCHING AND MUNICH
The town of Garching is located about 15 km north of Munich and is
easily accessible by commuter rail. Munich has a lot to offer - the
baroque Nymphenburg palace, the English Garden or the famous
Hofbräuhaus - discover it!
