Thanks to Rahul
Dave for this link.
The ExtremeLinux Track program is up at http://reno.cis.upenn.edu/extreme.
We are being sponsored by IBM, Redhat, SGI, Compaq, Portland
Group, and Paralogic. IBM is additionally providing us with a 12
dual-processor-node netfinity cluster on the floor.
More than 150 people have aleady pre-registered. Thanks for the
great response! And if you havent registered already, you can
ofcourse still do so at the expo.
The word “ExtremeLinux” refers to cutting edge computing being
done on Linux, for example, the development of advanced filesystems
and networking, “Beowulf” style Scientific and High Availability
Clustering, and parallel and distributed programming.
The purpose of this track is to serve as a platform to expose
Linux based clustering to the wider business and Linux communities,
to introduce cluster design and programming to the development
community, and to foster collaborations between high performance
applications and kernel developers.
Extreme Linux will have its own booth, #127, where we will
demonstrate a multitude of applications running on 3 separate
clusters. The Extreme Linux track consists of 2 BOF’s, 6 speakers
and 2 tutorials. Topics covered include replacement of expensive
massively-parallel machines with cheaper Linux clusters, filesystem
development, and metacomputing, with BOF’s on (a) Linux Clustering:
tools and kernel support needed and (b) Advanced Filesystems.
The Saturday ExtremeLinux Tutorial sessions, for which track
registration (at a cost of $35) is required, will be on (a)
benchmarking and workload measurement and (b) cluster design and
management. Additionally, registration will enable access to
detailed tutorial notes, book giveaways. You can register(if you
havent done so already), at the the main registration counter.
A detailed program can be picked up at the ExtremeLinux Booth.
Hope to see you there!
