Denver Hosts World's High-Performance Network and Computer Events At SC2001, November 10-16

April 03 April 2001 Each November for 12 years, more than 5,000 world leaders in computing and networking gather to demonstrate the newest technologies, showcase their results, and spend on average, $3.5-$7 million on planned purchases. SC2001, the conference of high performance networking and computing, will convene November 10-16, in the fiber-optic equipped Denver Convention Center. The timeschedule for submissions is now available.

For seven days, technical programs, demonstrations, exhibits, educational outreach and mind-boggling computer visualizations will take place on the exhibition floor, using a total communications bandwidth of 130 Gigabits/second. In addition fiber-optics links will carry events to participating "constellation" sites around the globe.

Consequently, conference chair Charlie Slocomb of Los Alamos National Laboratory appropriately dubbed the conference theme, "Beyond Boundaries." For the technically inclined, here are key dates and deadlines for SC2001 participants and presenters.
