JOIN US AT SC07

November 10-16, 2007, in Reno, Nevada

For three years, the Council on Competitiveness HPC Users conference has brought together public and private sector HPC stakeholders to understand better the importance of HPC to innovation and competitiveness. This year the Council has been invited to partner with the planning committee of the annual international supercomputing conference SC07 to help organize a key industry focus section of the program called Masterworks. Masterworks is a series of 14 sessions that will showcase industry’s use of high performance computing with emphasis on driving productivity and innovation for business success. Industry executives from global corporations will highlight novel ways of applying HPC technology to achieve the transformational breakthroughs needed to ensure a competitive advantage—a critical part of the Council’s work for the past three years.

In addition, this year we are adding a new CTO Roundtable as a capstone session to Masterworks. Leading CTOs and CIOs will discuss in a roundtable format the strategic value of HPC and how this critical asset is best positioned to contribute maximum business return for competitive gain. (Please see http://sc07.supercomputing.org/?pg=masterworks.html for more information.)

We look forward to contributing to this year’s Masterworks sessions and we hope to see many of our past HPC Users Conference attendees at the SC07 event in Reno. We encourage all interested parties to register for the conference on the supercomputing conference website: http://sc07.supercomputing.org, including the Technical Program that includes the Masterworks sessions. Updates will be available on the Council’s website at http://www.compete.org/hpc/annual_hpc.asp.
