ISC2005 -- THE PLACE TO BE IN HPC
ISC2005 Reaches Registration Record - 650 Participants
While early registrations pointed to record particpation, organizers of ISC2005 were pleasantly surprised when registration reached 500,
then soon surpassed 600. Ultimately, more than 650 particpants registered for this year's conference. Conference Chairman Prof. Hans Meuer
noted that more people checked in the day before ISC2005 opened than attended the first meeting back in 1986.
"As I spoke with attendees this year, I have the impression that people are not only engaged in this year's program, but they are also
already looking forward to meeting next year in Dresden." Information about ISC2006 can be accessed at http://www.supercomp.de/.
When ISC began the meeting series in Mannheim, it had 80 participants and one would never have dreamed it would achieve the
size and scope of the conference we see today.
It is especially gratifying that as ISC celebrates its 20th anniversary, it will have a record number of
participants from around the world to help mark the occasion.

Reflections on ISC at its 20th Anniversary
"The International Supercomputer Conference has a history of two decades in this industry, in which it has been the heart of the supercomputing community. It offers a platform on which users from science, industry as well as vendors and industry observers have a chance to meet and discuss, unlike almost any other place in the world. As an industry representative, I have gained tremendous value from attending the event. We, as IBM, also look forward to serving further the high performance computing community in the world with first-class technology, and ISC Heidelberg offers a wonderful opportunity for users to meet and see all relevant new offerings and industry trends."
Dave Turek, Vice President, Deep Computing, IBM

ISC2005: WHERE THE HPC WORLD MEETS
20th International Supercomputer Conference
The International Supercomputer Conference, the leading
supercomputing event in Europe, will celebrate its 20th
year in 2005 as a premier venue for gaining an international
perspective in the field of HPC. Combining a
strong lineup of technical experts with exhibits from
leading supercomputing centers, as well as hardware
and software vendors, ISC presents state-of-the-art
applications, architectures and trends in super-computing.
As a result, this HPC event has created a unique atmosphere
of collaboration and cooperation.
The annual conference has been held in fascinating Heidelberg
with the world-famous castle and picturesque Old Town,
with one of the oldest universities and modern research
facilities. The splendid Heidelberg Convention Center is
the perfect setting for this event.
The conference program (conducted in English) includes a one-day tutorial, followed by a three-day conference and paralleled by a huge HPC exhibition throughout.
