SCHEDULE: NOV 12-18, 2011

When viewing the Technical Program schedule, on the far righthand side is a column labeled "PLANNER." Use this planner to build your own schedule. Once you select an event and want to add it to your personal schedule, just click on the calendar icon of your choice (outlook calendar, ical calendar or google calendar) and that event will be stored there. As you select events in this manner, you will have your own schedule to guide you through the week.

You can also create your personal schedule on the SC11 app (Boopsie) on your smartphone. Simply select a session you want to attend and "add" it to your plan.

ABSTRACT:
Cloud Computing is receiving considerable interest in the HPC community for both compute-intensive and data-intensive applications. This mode of computing is purported to offer several advantages over traditional in-house HPC installations. Among these are instant provisioning of computer resources, reduced cost and availability to a large and diverse universe of users that may not have ready access to HPC. While questions such as performance and data security persist it is timely to ask if Cloud Computing is ready to be embraced by the HPC community. Is HPC in the Cloud "ready for prime time" or are there fundamental limits yet to be overcome? The Panel provides expert views on HPC in the Cloud from the perspectives of data-intensive and compute-intensive applications as well as Cloud Computing systems. Discussion will focus on current capabilities and shortcomings of using the cloud and how HPC in the Cloud will likely evolve.
