BELIEF Announces 4th International Symposium

June 9 -- The 4th BELIEF international symposium will be held July 16-17, 2009, at the Escola Politécnica of the Universidade of São Paulo, Brazil. The event will focus on the theme of "Future trends in e- Infrastructures applications: towards sustainable development."

Stephen Benians, BELIEF II project co-ordinator, said of the event: "The BELIEF-II symposia constitute the principal 'international dissemination' dimension of the project and serve to reinforce the relevance of Europe's e- Infrastructures globally. The symposia will offer a platform to EU projects and activities in key regions, connecting with EU e-Infrastructures where user communities can benefit hugely from adoption of these research technologies."

The symposium, organised with the support of the GLOBAL project, will revolve around the questions on how existing EU–Latin American e-Infrastructure links should evolve in a way that will bring benefits to Latin American development and to the e-Infrastructure cooperation between both regions. The symposium's discussions will shape a position paper to be sent to key stakeholders and decision makers. Your participation would therefore add considerable value in advancing the agenda of e-Infrastructure R&D in Latin American & Europe in a way that can sustain development in both regions.

The symposium will start with opening plenary speeches given by keynote representatives from the EC Delegation to Brazil, the government of the State of São Paulo and R&D sector, followed by three parallel sessions. These will address issues such as how to sustain e-Infrastructure use between connected research communities in Latin America and Europe; whilst specific user community areas shall be addressed such as eScience, e-Health and e-Education.

Thanks to the support of the GLOBAL consortium, interactive remote participations are most welcome. Those who wish to give a presentation remotely via Internet (as a remote site via ISABEL), should confirm their participation through the following link: http://isabel.dit.upm.es/mediawiki/index.php/BELIEF_Brazil_Symposium.

Participation is free of charge. Register here.

NVIDIA Works On CPU Co-Dependency Issues with Kepler GPU

NVIDIA is telling everyone that the GK110, its new Kepler GPU aimed at supercomputing, is all about improving performance per watt. But the other driving theme behind the new architecture is reducing the GPU's reliance on its CPU host. How well it accomplishes both these goals areas could determine the success of the new chip in high performance computing.
