Workshop PC Clusters for Scientific and Industrial Applications
Birlinghoven 10 Aug 99 On September 14-15, GMD and NEC will organise a two day workshop on PC clusters for sceintific and industrial applications. Among the projects presented, are the largest European clusters: the Swiss TX, the Dutch DAS and the Paderborn SCI cluster. The topics of this workshop span the whole range of modern cluster technology, from small units used in university or industrial projects, through servers in compute center environments, to the high-end teraflop clusters. Emphasis is laid on efficient interconnect solutions, and on comfortable and reliable software environments.
