Abstract |
|
|
Not only does HPC change the kinds of
problems we can attack; it also changes the
way in which we carry out scientific
research. Drawing on examples from the
Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and the
TeraGrid, the speaker will illustrate the
impact that high performance computing is
having on the conduct of Science. |

Keynote Speaker Biography |
|
|
Ralph Roskies is a Professor of Physics at
the University of Pittsburgh and a founder
and Scientific Director of the Pittsburgh
Supercomputing Center (PSC). He is the
author of over 60 papers in theoretical
elementary particle physics. In 1984,
together with Professor Michael Levine of
Carnegie Mellon University and James Kasdorf
from Westinghouse, he developed the proposal
to the National Science Foundation for what
became the PSC. As Scientific Director,
Roskies oversees operations, plans its
future course, and concerns himself with its
scientific impact. The PSC has been a leader
in providing the highest capability
computing to the US national research
community. With support from the NSF, NIH,
DOE and other agencies, PSC has enabled
important new insights in such diverse
fields as storm modeling, structure and
function of proteins, turbulence, earthquake
modeling, fundamental particle physics, and
the design of new materials. It has
pioneered developments in file systems,
heterogeneous computing, parallel algorithms
and scientific visualization. PSC is also a
major node on the TeraGrid, NSF’s nationwide
deployment of cyber infrastructure focused
on high-end computing. Roskies has a broad
overview of leading computational science
and close ties to many of its most prominent
practitioners. He has served as advisor to,
and as reviewer of, a large number of U.S.
and international supercomputing centers. |

The IEEE International Conference on High
Performance Computing (HiPC) is the leading
conference in India addressing the broad
area of high performance computing and
communication. The conference emphasizes the
design and analysis of high performance
parallel, distributed, networked and mobile
sensor-based systems, and their scientific,
engineering, and commercial applications.
HiPC 2007, the 14th conference in this
series, will be held in Goa, India during
December 18-21, 2007. Further information
about the conference can be found at
www.hipc.org.
The primary goal of this symposium is to
bring together providers and users of High
Performance Computing (HPC). The event will
provide a forum for presenting the
state-of-the-art in HPC platforms and
technologies, for discussing best practices,
and for exchanging experiences and lessons
learned.
The one-day symposium will feature keynotes
by HPC users as well as contributed talks by
leading experts from industry, research
laboratories and universities, and a short
user's panel and open discussions at the
end. The symposium will be held in
conjunction with HiPC 2007. The conference
emphasizes the design and analysis of high
performance parallel, distributed, networked
and mobile sensor-based computing systems,
and their scientific, engineering, and
commercial applications. HiPC 2007, the 14th
conference in this series, will be held in
Goa, India during December 18-21, 2007.
An industrial exhibition will run in
parallel with HPC Users Symposium, which
will provide an opportunity for showcasing
HPC vendor technologies. Please visit the
conference website
www.hipc.org for more details. |
