All former Supernet International users have had their user names registered on
HPCwire, so there is no need to re-register. Just remember, when prompted for
your <user name> just enter your last name and first initial (all lower case,
no spaces or punctuation).

  The launch of HPCwire coincides with the announcement that Supernet
International, a similar service owned by SPI Publishing, has ceased
operations. Through an agreement with Internet-access provider Advanced
Network & Services, users attempting to login to Supernet International will
be redirected to HPCwire.
  Modeled after Supernet International, HPCwire is a new service run by a
completely different ownership group, Tabor Griffin Communications.
  "Very simply put, we are providing an electronic daily news, information and
library service on high-performance computing -- and all of it is free to the
Internet community," said Thomas B. Tabor, president of HPCwire. "Unlike other
information sources on the Internet, we archive everything that appears on
HPCwire. You can conduct a keyword search over the whole system, or selected
portions of it, to find just what you need.
  "Nowhere else can you find this much timely information on high-performance
computing. And once you find what youre looking for, HPCwire makes it easy to
download the information to your own system, or to a colleague on the
Internet, with a personal note attached."
  More than a mere repository of information, HPCwire is an easy-to-use,
interactive, menu-based system. Features include:
  * Daily News: HPCwires dynamic news service gives daily updates on every
segment of high-performance computing. Articles range from product
announcements to industry news to in-depth application feature stories.
Detailed news specials, commentaries and insightful analysis round out this
one-stop news resource.
  * Trade Show: This comprehensive online buyers guide provides details on
products and services from the leading vendors in high-performance computing.
Trade Show even allows users to request more information or an immediate,
personal contact directly from vendors.
  * Job Bank: One of the most popular features on the service, Job Bank
contains Help Wanted listings from employers throughout the industry, and
allows users to advertise their services to prospective employers.
  * And Much More: open forums, a calendar of events, newsletters from
supercomputer centers and industry experts, a Research Register, and a
database of other high-performance computing information.
  HPCwire is made free to the high-performance computing community thanks to
the support of the following sponsors: Advanced Network & Services, Alliant
Computer Systems Corp., Avalon Computer Systems Corp., Digital Equipment
Corp., Fujitsu America Inc., Genias Software GmbH, IBM Corp., iOmega, IMSL
Inc., Intel Corp., nCUBE Corp., MasPar Computer Corp., Maximum Strategy Inc.,
MMB Development Corp., ParaSoft Corp., The Portland Group, Scientific
Computing Associates Inc., The Smaby Group and Storage Technology Corp.
