New Directions in Cluster Computing: A Conference at the American Museum of Natural History "New Directions in Cluster Supercomputing"

该建议是为了部分支持2001年6月12日至14日在纽约举行的“集群超级计算新方向”会议。会议将探讨低成本分布式“超级计算”在科技领域和其他应用领域的影响。该活动的目标是促进思想交流，检查一般方法和技术，并鼓励系统、算法和自然科学应用社区成员之间增加互动。这次会议将与博物馆首次关于人类基因组的大型公开展览“基因组革命”同时举行。美国宇航局和公共部门的技术公司也为会议提供了支持。

This proposal is for partial support of the conference, "New Directions in Cluster Supercomputing", being held June 12-14, 2001 in New York City. The conference will examine the impact of low-cost distributed "supercomputing" in areas of science and technology and other application areas. A goal of the event is to stimulate the exchange of ideas and examine general approaches and techniques, and encourage increased interaction among members of the systems, algorithms and natural science applications communities.The conference will run concurrently with the Museum's first major public exhibition on the human genome, "The Genomic Revolution." Support for the conference is also being provided by NASA and public sector technology corporations..
