This
15th Annual SC conference brings together a worldwide
community to celebrate its achievements and envision
the future of high performance computing, networking,
and data technologies. Our theme, "From Terabytes
to Insights," emphasizes the opportunity to use
technology to transform an ever-increasing flow of
data into the knowledge that will impact education,
science, business, government, and every aspect of
society.
The
technical program features an outstanding set of speakers
– in plenary, masterworks, and papers -- who
address key technical, policy, and real-world application
issues of HPC. Tutorials and the Education program
provide unparalleled opportunities for learning at
and beyond the conference. Panel discussions and Birds
of a Feather sessions are opportunities for community
interaction and discussion. The Awards program recognizes
the highest achievements in our field and at the conference.
We
feature a record number of exhibits from the world’s
top technology companies, cutting-edge start-ups,
research centers, government labs, and top universities,
providing an incomparable view of our country’s
accomplishments. Posters are integrated into the new
‘Academic Village’ section of the exhibition.
And SCinet 2002, in place for the duration of the
conference, is one of the most powerful networks on
earth.
The
IntelliBadge™ demonstration project will link
‘smart’ sensor technology to on-the-floor
computing and visualization resources as a service
to attendees. Technical program attendees who participate
in IntelliBadge will be able to pinpoint events that
meet their needs and interests, locate people with
similar interests, and even find restaurants to suit
their tastes.
We
invite you to enjoy colorful, historic Baltimore,
a city of great writers (Edgar Allen Poe, H. L. Mencken),
great musicians (Eubie Blake, Billie Holiday), and
the home of Fort McHenry, where Francis Scott Key
penned "The Star Spangled Banner." The city’s
Inner Harbor is a perfect example of a rejuvenated
inner city neighborhood. Conference hotels, restaurants,
and entertainment facilities such as Harborplace,
the National Aquarium, and the Maryland Science Center
are an easy walk from the convention center.
So,
whether you want to build the world’s most powerful
supercomputer, develop lasting scientific collaborations,
or simply glimpse the future technologies that will
shape our world, you have come to the right place
– SC2002 in Baltimore!
