Clusters today
are an important element of mainstream computing.
In less than a decade, "lowly" computer clusters
have come to prominence as the most convenient and
cost-effective tool for solving many complex computational
problems. Being able to bring enough computing cycles
together in a pool is one thing, but to be able to
use these cycles efficiently so that the aggregate
power of a cluster can be fully harnessed is another.
Research and development efforts must continue to
explore better strategies to make clusters an even
greater tool when facing the grandest challenges
of this age. Cluster 2003, to be held in the most
dynamic city in the Orient, will provide an open
forum for cluster researchers and system builders,
as well as cluster users, to present and discuss
new directions and results that could shape the future
of cluster computing.
Cluster 2003 welcomes paper submissions from engineers
and scientists in academia, industry, and government
describing their latest research findings in any aspects
of cluster computing. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:
- Cluster Middleware
- Single-System Image Services
- Software Environments and
Tools
- Standard Software for Clusters
- I/O Libraries, File Systems,
and Distributed RAID
