The DNA of Computing
Gaining a Competitive Advantage with Intel Architecture based Clustering Solution
August 29, 2001 (1:00 PM - 5:30 PM)
LinuxWorld
Meeting Room 134b
Moscone Convention Center
747 Howard Street
San Francisco, CA 94103
Over the last several years, we have seen rapid growth and significant scientific breakthrough in the Life Sciences Industry. Fueling this growth is the availability of raw computational power at much lower costs than ever before. Companies that are able to deploy the most cost effective high performance computing solutions are the ones that will win in this exploding market. Attend this FREE Seminar to learn why having a powerful, cost-effective and yet simple computing solution is the key to your business survival.
Who Should Attend?
This event is of particular relevance to those in the Life Sciences Industry - university researchers, biologists, chemists, or others interested in taking advantage of recent breakthroughs in clustering solutions.
What you will gain?
By investing half a day at this FREE Seminar, you will:
Discover the numerous ways to build your own supercomputer with a Beowulf Cluster
Learn how to easily put all the pieces together
Understand how your applications can take advantage of the Beowulf Clustering technology
Find out what is the right configuration for your specific workload
Agenda

1:00PM Welcome

1:10PM Implementation of Beowulf Clustering systems
Address the various ways of building a Beowulf clustering system. How applications scale with different Beowulf clustering configurations.

Don Becker
Founder and CTO (co-developer of Beowulf Cluster)
Scyld Computing Corporation

1:45PM High Performance Informatics Computing
The use of computational clusters for in-Silico biology is dictated by simple economics. This talk will cover some of the questions and issues associated with adapting applications which have not been developed with distributed computing in mind, to a cluster platform.

Dr. Joseph Landman
Senior Scientist, Supercomputing Division
MSC.Software

2:30PM Success Story
Incyte is well known for its success in using Intel-based clustering system for research. Gain insights on how Incyte built its own clustering system and what factors to consider in building your own clustering solution.

Will Francis
Senior Unix Administrator
Incyte Genomics

3:05PM Reception/Ask the experts

5:00PM Drawing
Chance to win a Pentium 4 processor (10 available) as well as a Pentium 4 processor-based system (2 available).
