BATON ROUGE, La., April 22 -- The ninth annual International Conference on Computational Science will take place in downtown Baton Rouge this May, and conference organizers will offer three free tutorials to kick off the event on Sunday, May 24.
The LSU Center for Computation & Technology, or CCT, is hosting this conference, which brings together scientific researchers from around the world to discuss the latest high-performance computing developments and breakthroughs. The conference in Baton Rouge will mark only the third time ICCS has taken place in the United States.
"ICCS 2009: Compute. Discover. Innovate." will take place May 25-27 at the Hilton Capitol Center, but the conference will have opening-day tutorials there on May 24. These tutorials are free, but participants must register for them in advance. Tutorial attendees do not need to pay full-conference registration to attend. Participants who plan to attend ICCS 2009 do not need to pay any additional fees to attend the tutorial sessions, but should register for those ahead of time.
The ICCS 2009 tutorials are:

When it comes to cloud, long distances mean unacceptably high latencies. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany examined those latency issues of doing CFD modeling in the cloud by utilizing a common CFD and its utilization in HPC instance types including both CPU and GPU cores of Amazon EC2.
