The keynote address by Alliance and NCSA Director Dan Reed presented the NCSA's and the Alliance's vision, and the role Linux clusters will play in that vision.

 

2000 Conference    
 

The Linux Supercluster Users Conference, the 1st LCI Conference, took place on September 11-15 in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Wyndham Hotel. This user-oriented 5-day conference was aimed at sharing information on scientific computing techniques for Linux Supercluster users. The objective of this meeting was to help computational scientists and engineers develop applications to achieve maximum performance and scalability on Linux Supercluster systems.

The conference consisted of tutorials and presentations by IBM staff and users from academia, government labs, industry, and independent software vendors, covering topics such as

  • Programming tools and parallel algorithms
  • Application experience and community codes
  • Networking and communication (OpenMP, MPI, pthreads, etc.)
  • Benchmarking and performance evaluation
  • Resource Management (Maui, Globus, Condor, Scheduling, etc.)
