The 2009 AAAS Meeting will bring together an exceptional array of speakers addressing some of the most crucial and timely areas of science, technology, and engineering.The meeting's theme -- €”Our Planet and Its Life: Origins and Futures -- recognizes that 2009 is the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. New understanding of the processes that fascinated Darwin continues to be the focus of intense research 150 years later. Indeed every discipline can demonstrate its own unique evolutionary path and speculate on where it may lead.

From fundamental research to advanced modeling and simulation, HPC is invigorating productivity and innovation throughout industry and science. Until very recently HPC was a competitive advantage limited to highly specialized applications, affordable only by the privileged elite.Today, HPC is widely accessible throughout the industrial and research ecosystem via new technologies and services that are rapidly redefining the boundaries of possibility. HPC is consistently turning up as the answer when science and industry come face-to-face with the evolving computation demands of the modern world. HPC has gone blue collar, placing never before seen computational power at the hands of both large industry and small business and across the industrial and academic spectrum from scientific experimentation to research and development. The future of computing is undeniably now very different from the past - those positioned to take advantage of this shift will stand at the doorstep of unprecedented opportunity.With presentations and participants from leading companies and organizations around the globe, this year’s conference will expose attendees to information critical to strategic business and technical efforts impacted by HPC adoption. The program features policy and market experts, thought leaders from industry and academia, strategic insights into corporate roadmaps, and answers to the most pressing questions about what you can do now to embrace this competitive advantage within your organization’s industrial and research initiatives. This conference will define the challenges of HPC adoption together with the solutions for scaling the innovation curve giving actionable intelligence to energize organizations. HPC Adoption ‘09 is the premier strategic awareness and networking event for senior-level business and technology executives planning for the HPC revolution.

In today’s competitive product development environment, high-performance computing (HPC) combined with ANSYS simulation software provides outstanding value and return on investment. Using HPC enables increased productivity and higher fidelity simulation. Faster turnaround, larger models, more complex physics, multiple design options – all mean better designs in less time. This presentation will review recent benchmarks that illustrate the parallel computing performance of ANSYS Structural Dynamics and ANSYS Fluid Dynamics on the latest hardware technologies and processor updates. In addition to raw performance, we will focus on the value of using parallel computing and the return on investment for the engineering organization. Guidelines on specifying HPC solutions for ANSYS will be reviewed, along with information about working with ANSYS partners for low-risk deployment. For those seeking to optimize their use of computing resources and investment in simulation, this session will provide valuable guidelines on where and how to deploy HPC for simulation.

The 2009 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computer has proposed to NSF support for student participation in Cluster 2009. Our proposal has been recommended for funding, though it has not yet officially been approved.

We expect to be able to support up to 75 students, with the following support:

• The advance student registration fee will be paid by the conference (normally $245)
• Students staying in the conference hotel will have $200 of hotel costs paid by the conference (note that 2 approved students sharing a room will thus save $400 of hotel costs)

Approvals student support will generally be made on a first come, first served basis, with some preference for student authors of papers or posters. Students wishing to be supported under this program should send a single email to d.katz@ieee.org , with the subject "Cluster 2009 Student Support", containing their contact information, information about any authorship of material submitting to the conference, with an attached letter from their advisor/professor explaining how this program will advance the student's career.

The deadline for submission of posters is Friday, June 26. Additionally, the workshop: Interfaces and Abstractions for Scientific Data plans to extend its submission date to June 26.

The 2nd workshop on Many-Task Computing on Grids and Supercomputers (MTAGS) will provide the scientific community a dedicated forum for presenting new research, development, and deployment efforts of loosely coupled large scale applications on large scale clusters, Grids, Supercomputers, and Cloud Computing infrastructure. Many-task computing (MTC), the theme of the workshop encompasses loosely coupled applications, which are generally composed of many tasks (both independent and dependent tasks) to achieve some larger application goal. This workshop will cover challenges that can hamper efficiency and utilization in running applications on large-scale systems, such as local resource manager scalability and granularity, efficient utilization of the raw hardware, parallel file system contention and scalability, reliability at scale, and application scalability.
