BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 19 -- The organizing committee for the IEEE* Cluster 2013 conference is now accepting proposals for tutorials, technical papers, posters, panels, and visualizations. Hosted by IU's Pervasive Technology Institute, Cluster 2013 will take place September 23-27, 2013, at the Hilton Hotel in Indianapolis. All submissions are due March 29, 2013. (IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is a professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation. IEEE's sponsorship of Cluster 2013 is pending.)
"The Pervasive Technology Institute is proud to host this year's IEEE Cluster conference," said Craig Stewart, general chair of the event. Stewart is executive director of IU's Pervasive Technology Institute and associate dean of Research Technologies. "Cluster 2013 will be a great opportunity for the brightest computing minds to explore cluster technology and its innovations of tomorrow."
Cluster 2013 welcomes original submissions from researchers in academia, industry and government. Successful entries will feature innovative research in the fields of cluster, distributed and high-performance computing. Conference organizers are particularly interested in content related to:

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.

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.
