MODERN CLUSTER
COMPUTING

The Cluster Computing minitrack will cover issues related to using clusters for parallel and distributed supercomputing. Topics of interest include:
applications and tools developed for clusters, scacable resource management, latency tolerant and latency hiding algorithms, cluster communication (libraries, enhancements and hardware), heterogeneous computing, distributed operating systems, parallel I/O, cluster configuration, metacomputing, volunteer computing, performance analysis.

This session will be a major forum for researchers in the dynamic field of cluster computing. The format of the minitrack allows researchers to be more focussed than they would be in other conferences. The last session of the minitrack will be an open discussion of common issues and opportunities.
