Amdahl key-note speaker in Mannheim

Mannheim 16 Feb 00 For fifteen years, the Mannheim Supercomputer conference is the meeting place for everyone in Germany and Europe, interested in supercomputer topics. This year, the name of the key note speaker, Gene Amdahl, is associated with a law that everybody in the field has come across. Apart from the new TOP500 list, and applications, ranging from weatherforecast to cardiology, clusters will be a focal point of the conference that will be held in Mannheim from June 8-10, 2000.

Highlights of the first day of the conference, apart from the key-note, are presentations on the simulation of the 3D genome by Joerg Langkowski from DKFZ Heidelberg; Grids, by David Kesselman; Large scale computing for brains, cardiology and combustion by Chris Johnson, University of Utah; and vectorisation on the new PVP supercomputers.

The cluster computing session at the last day includes experience with the PARNASS and Wuppertal clusters.

Primeur will report Live! from this major event.
