Upcoming Conferences and Workshops Sally Haerer Sally distributed two handouts to the group with information regarding two upcoming conferences. This group is the SGI High Performance User Group. Sally also noted that NCAR is a CUG member site, so registration fees will be lower for employees. The second conference is the Parallel Tools Consortium which will be meeting at NCAR, Mesa Lab, April 19-21, 1999. Application and tool developers will meet for a discussion of current parallel tool technology and to help determine priorities for the development of future tools.
Registration is required.
Jeff Kuehn also mentioned that Tuesday morning there will be a four hour parallel processor tutorial for those who work with dsm and parallel computing. The audience is recognized as being from beginning to experienced users, so the focus will be somewhere in the middle. The optimization for RISC processor platforms will be emphasized. Al is still familiarizing himself with NCAR and the various divisions and what they have to offer. In SCD, the methodology of how business is done has changed.
