BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 5 — IEEE Cluster 2013 conference organizers are seeking input from the high performance computing community, in an effort to make the "Clusters and Cyberinfrastructure Strategy" event as informative as possible. Hosted by Indiana University's Pervasive Technology Institute, Cluster 2013 will take place Sept. 23-27, 2013, at the Hilton Hotel in Indianapolis.
The conference organizing committee recently made a call for keynote speakers. In the past, the IEEE Cluster conference keynotes have featured a variety of international leaders in the field, from "father of Beowulf" computer scientist Thomas Sterling to Liu GuangMing, director of the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin, China.
The committee welcomes keynote speaker suggestions for this year's conference. Please send ideas to Craig Stewart, executive director of Indiana University's Pervasive Technology Institute, associate dean of Research Technologies and general chair of the conference: stewart@iu.edu
The Cluster 2013 conference is also continuing to accept proposals for tutorials, technical papers, posters, panels and visualizations. All submissions are due May 18, 2013. (A one-week extension until May 25 will automatically be granted upon submission of an abstract by May 18.) Proposal submission and review will be handled via EasyChair at http://bit.ly/YD8ivr. Conference proceedings will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
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).

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.
