Upcoming HPC & Multi-Core Events & Milestones

Here is my trial to gather all the upcoming events related to High Performance Computing (HPC) and multi-core technologies. Please feel free to tell me about more related events and share it with all readers. I will be updating this page as I find more related upcoming events. Each event is linked to announcement article or company post.

Workshops

Event	Date	Location	Notes
First Yearly Workshop of the Hybrid Multicore Consortium (HMC)	January 19 -22, 2010	SF, CA	The goal of HMC is to address the migration of existing applications to accelerator based systems and thereby maximize the investments in these systems. The main focus is on identifying obstacles to making emerging, large-scale systems based on accelerator technologies production-ready for high-end scientific calculations.
Summer School 2010 Workshops – Workshop I: Scaling to Petascale	July 6–9, 2010	Online	Provided by The Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering
Summer School 2010 Workshops – Workshop II: Many-Core Processors	August 2–6, 2010	Online
Summer School 2010 Workshops – Workshop III: Big Data for Science	July 26–30, 2010	Online

Super Computers to Be In Full or Partial Service

Event	Date	Notes
NERSC/LBNL Hopper	Q3 of 2010	Hopper, named in honor of American Computer Scientist Grace Hopper, is arriving in two phases. The Phase I system is a Cray XT5 with 664 compute nodes each containing two 2.4 GHz AMD Opteron quad-core processors (5312 total cores). The second phase, arriving in 2010, will be combined with an upgraded phase 1 to create NERSC’s first peta-flop system with over 150,000 compute cores
The Blue Waters project	Q4 2010 or Q1 2011	A 10 Peta FLOPS super computer based on IBM Power7 Architecture
RIKEN	Q1 2011	The system will be based on Fujitsu’s upcoming Sparc64 VIIIfx processor, which has eight processor cores and will be an update to the four-core Sparc64 VII chip that Fujitsu released two years ago. It will offer initially 10 Peta FLOPS computing power!
