Sun Microsystems' High Performance and Research Computing Team and the Sun HPC Consortium Steering Committee are pleased to invite you to High Performance Computing Consortium -- Dresden Germany 2007.

Project Blackbox
Join us to preview the world's first virtualized data centre, when Project Blackbox arrives in Dresden - a complete data centre in a standard shipping container. For more information and registration click here http://www.sun.de/blackbox-tour

The Dresden 2007 HPC Consortium meeting will be located near the Dresden City Center at the beautiful Westin Bellevue Resort. The meeting will be held just before the ISC'07 conference in Dresden.

The agenda for the 3 days event is now available. Note the talks from Sun and also your fellow HPC users on the challenges and state of the art for science, engineering and research computing today. Sessions will be all day on Monday and Tuesday. See agenda at: hpc-events.com/sun-dresden07/agenda.html.

Hosted by Intel and the Gelato Federation (www.gelato.org), the global technical community for Linux on Itanium architecture, this free 4 hour seminar will cover essential concepts for programming on multi-core platforms. The seminar is architecture neutral. Following the seminar, Intel architecture-specific demonstrations will be available.

Content will include:
  • An introduction to parallel programming concepts, advantages, and pitfalls.
  • OpenMP, a simple and flexible interface for developing shared-memory parallel applications.
  • Using Intel Thread Checker to speed up your development process by detecting non-protected shared memory access, even when no actual race conditions occur.
  • Using Intel Thread Profiler to understand the overall performance of your application and identify which part of your code should be parallelized.
  • How to reduce the impact of thread creation overhead, locking, and barriers.
  • An introduction to Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) 1.1 to eliminate tedious threading implementation work.
  • How to quickly employ commonly needed algorithms designed for parallel performance and scalability.
Online registration is available at www.isc07.org/registration.
