The Computational and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is hosting the 10th LCI International Conference on High-Performance Clustered Computing.

This year's conference examines how future large-scale system design will address the balance between inter- and intra-node parallelism, and how applications will effectively harness these systems. It will explore how the deep hierarchy of cores, processors, accelerators, cache, memory, interconnect, and I/O will create exciting opportunities for new algorithms that exploit the architectural hierarchy to increase scalability, efficiency, and accessible simulation sizes.

The four-day event, including the conference and tutorials, will feature a broad range of presentations and papers from HPC and large-scale cluster computing professionals in industry, academia, and government.

The conference program committee is soliciting papers,  technical presentations, and tutorials on  a broad range of topics related to systems integration, operation
and support, end user applications, tools, education, and experiences.

Proposed papers will be selected on the basis of an extended abstract of 5 to 8 pages. Tutorials can come from a variety of areas but should provide practical information or training for the cluster community. Those interested in submitting tutorials for consideration should submit a 5- to 6-page abstract.

Those interested in technical presentations for consideration should submit a 2- to 3-page abstract. For detailed information on ubmitting papers, presentations, or tutorials, please see the
conference Web site.
