1st European Workshop on HPC Centre Infrastructures
1st European Workshop on HPC centre infrastructures
Building infrastructures are a strategic asset for today's HPC centre. Modern supercomputer architectures are becoming increasingly demanding with respect to power, cooling, and structural statics. The premises of an HPC centre, its capacities, efficiency, and flexibility, therefore define the limits of the centre's future development capabilities and the economics of its operation. This event will for the first time bring together, specialists for HPC centre design and infrastructure technologies with supercomputer centre staff responsible for infrastructure development and operations. The workshop will give an overview of state of the art of HPC infrastructure design and technologies as well as of the main current HPC infrastructure projects around the globe.
The event will take place on September 2nd-4th 2009 at the Origlio Country Club, 5km north of Lugano, Switzerland. Attendance at main conference will be on invitation only with an additional day reserved for members of PRACE.
