LCI Workshop to Focus on Opteron

released October 23, 2003

The Linux Clusters Institute (LCI) brings leading-edge technology to its workshop attendees. In addition to covering the latest Intel and IBM architectures, the Dec. 8-12 workshop at the Center for High Performance Computing at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque will feature hands-on experience running an application on AMD Opteron compute nodes. Workshop attendees will be able to learn not only about AMD Opteron processor technology but also compare the performance of an application run on 32- versus 64-bit computing.

LCI's workshops are intensive, hands-on sessions for computational scientists, engineers, researchers, analysts, and cluster system administrators. LCI's technical materials are vendor neutral and highlight information that attendees cannot easily find elsewhere.

The workshops enable computational scientists, researchers, analysts, and engineers to develop applications that achieve maximum performance and scalability on Linux clusters of all sizes. System administrators learn about issues related to the administration of Linux clusters supporting secure and reliable, high-performance computing. Prospective users of Linux clusters will find the workshops a detailed and informative introduction to the process of acquiring, configuring, and using Linux clusters.

Each workshop spans a full week and consists of two modules: two days covering systems administration and management issues and three days devoted to scientific/technical application development and optimization.

Registration is limited and will close on Nov. 26. A registration form and additional information are available at http://www.linuxclustersinstitute.org/.

The LCI provides advanced technical training for those interested in deploying high-performance Linux computing clusters. The group was founded by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Center for High Performance Computing (HPC) at the University of New Mexico, and the Advanced Computing Technology Center (ACTC) at IBM Research. The LCI includes some of the world's foremost specialists in building and deploying Linux clusters at NCSA, HPC@UNM, and IBM.
