BU Call for Participation for Chautauqua 99
- If you are an Alliance team, Boston Univesity extends an invitation to
demonstrate your new technologies at Alliance Chautauqua 99 in September.
Act soon, though, because the deadline is midnight (ET), Wednesday, July 28.
§
- Recordbreaking Month of Computing
- Researchers from St. Louis University and the Max Planck Institute
had a recordbreaking month on NCSA's Origin2000 system.
§
- Lessons Learned from Capability Computing Conference
- The May conference, co-sponsored by SGI and NCSA and targeting the Origin2000 system,
provided some insights into programming for capability computing projects.
Read what NCSA Director Larry Smarr views as two significant lessons to be learned from the industry and
user presentations at the conference.
§
- Top 500
- The list of the 500 most powerful computer systems installed around the world is determined by
evaluating a system's performance using the Linpack benchmark. Take a look at the list and
see how Alliance and NPACI systems fared in the rankings.
§
- The Access Grid
- This conversational website is primarily for those already "in the know"
about the Access Grid. But if you aren't in that category (yet!), the site still
will help you understand the hardware and software needed to create a
node on the developing Grid. Especially check out the AG Tech Resources link.
§
- Time to Register for Chautauquas!
- Take a minute to select and register for the Chautauqua of your choice.
The three PACS-sponsored Chautauquas are being held in New Mexico,
Kentucky, and Massachusetts in August and September.
§
- Online Tutorial:
Introduction to OpenMP
- Learn at your convenience! Boston University recently unveiled a
a new multimedia tutorial on OpenMP, a new Application
Program Interface (API) for shared-memory parallel processing.
The tutorial is presented using HTML and supplemented by sound narrations.
§
- Introduction
to the Grid and Globus
- The Grid and Globus; Globus and the Grid. How do these projects relate? This
introduction explains the foundation concepts of the Grid and introduces Globus,
a basic software infrastructure for computations across geographically
distributed computational and information resources.
§
- Big
Web Caching Bake-off
- In an obscure, nondescript warehouse tucked away in a corner of the
Silicon Valley, a unique experiment -- the near impossible task of
simulating traffic over the Internet -- was conducted. National Laboratory
for Applied Network Research staff tested test a new generation of Internet
Web caching software products. Read about their results.
§
- Duke of York
Visits MHPCC
- Not many computer centers can boast of hosting royalty.
In Hawaii to represent Great Britain's partnership in telescope projects
on Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii, Prince Andrew included a side trip to
MHPCC to learn how this Alliance partner site is contributing to
science and technology advances both nationally and locally.
§
- High Performance Distributed
Computing Conference
- In high-performance distributed environments, parallel or distributed
computing techniques are applied to the
solution of computationally intensive applications across networks of computers.
Sign up for the conference, which takes place in Redondo Beach, CA, on August 4 - 6, and hear the
latest research findings that unify parallel and distributed computing.
