Meetings for Computational Community
Communications, discussions, and interactions are important components of successful collaborations, and the collaborative partnerships that symbolize SciDAC projects promote multiple discussion forums.
One of the most visible interdisciplinary meetings for the elite computational science community and SciDAC researchers is the annual SciDAC Conference. SciDAC 2008 will be held in Seattle, WA, July 13-17 ("SciDAC 2008 Conference Set for Seattle,"). The meeting will feature technical presentations, posters, and opportunities for expanding collaborations. More information is available at: http://hpcrd.lbl.gov/SciDAC08/
In conjunction with the annual meeting, the SciDAC Outreach Center is hosting a day of tutorials. SciDAC researchers will present a multi-tracked set of tutorials on computing, data, and algorithm topics to students, industry partners, and other interested parties. The tutorials will be held Friday July 18 in Redmond, WA and transportation from Seattle hotels will be arranged. Agendas and registration information will be posted at: http://outreach.scidac.gov/SciDAC08/tutorials
Members of the SciDAC Institute for Ultra-Scale Visualization will present a Mini-Symposium on Ultra-Scale Parallel Visualization on March 14 during the 2008 SIAM Conference on Parallel Processing for Scientific Computing in Atlanta, GA. Further details are available at: http://meetings.siam.org/sess/dsp_programsess.cfm?SESSIONCODE=6770
The Center for Technology for Advanced Scientific Component Software (TASCS) is an active participant in the Common Component Architecture (CCA) Forum, which holds quarterly meetings that are open to the public. The next meetings will be held April 24-25 in Salishan, OR, and July 24-25 in the Washington, DC area. More information can be found at: http://www.cca-forum.org/meetings/
TASCS members are also involved in the organization of the COMPARCH Federated Events on Component-Based Software Engineering and Software Architecture to be held October 14-17 in Karlsruhe, Germany. Group members are especially involved in planning the Component-Based High-Performance Computing workshop. More details are available at: http://comparch2008.ipd.uka.de/
The Center for Scalable Application Development Software (CScADS) will hold its Summer 2008 Workshops this July in Snowbird, UT. These are the second of an annual series of workshops that aim to engage the community in the challenges of leadership computing and foster interdisciplinary collaborations. The workshops will explore topics such as: Automatic Tuning for Petascale Systems; Leadership-Class Machines, Petascale Applications, and Performance Strategies; Performance Tools for Petascale Computing; and Scientific Data Analysis and Visualization for Petascale Computing.
