The HPC2N Workshop on Computing in Science and Engineering 2000

The HPC2N Workshop on Computing in
Science and Engineering

Invitation

High Performance Computing Center North (HPC2N) cordially invites you to participate in a two-day workshop on computing in science and engineering.

Scope

The aim of the workshop is to bring users and potential users of high-performance computing resources together in an environment that stimulates discussions around challenges and possibilities within computational science and engineering. We also anticipate participation from PhD-students active in all areas of science and engineering.

The workshop will also form the kick-off for the HPC2N Colloquium on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) - a seminar series on different CSE topics, organized jointly with the HPC2N partners. (The seminars will be announced electronically and on our web-site).

The programme consists mainly of talks given by speakers from various areas of science and engineering, including several current users of HPC2N's computing resources. The speakers cover a wide range of fields where computational methods are of great importance.

Additionally, the program will include discussions about the future direction of High Performance Computing hardware, with a special focus on Linux-clusters.

Invited speakers

Prof. Mårten Gulliksson, Department of Physics and Mathematics, Mid-Sweden University.
Dr. Mats Holmström, Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Kiruna.
Prof. Roland Häggkvist, Department of Mathematics, Umeå University.
Prof. Aatto Laaksonen, Division of Physical Chemistry, Stockholm University.
Dr. Karin Larsson, Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Uppsala University.
Prof. Lars-Erik Lindgren, Division of Computer Aided Design, Luleå University of Technology.
Dr. Hans-Erik Nilsson, Department of Information Technology, Mid-Sweden University.
Prof. Mikael Oliveberg, Department of Biochemistry, Umeå University
Dr. Peter Olsson, Department of Theoretical Physics, Umeå University.
Prof. Bo Ranneby, Department of Forest Management and Geomatics, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
Emma Sigfridsson, Department of Theoretical Chemistry, Lund University.

Dates and Location

The workshop will be held in the MIT-building at the Umeå University Campus November 7-8, 2000. The workshop starts after lunch on the 7 November and ends in the early afternoon on the 8 November (14.30).
