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. Continue in this manner until you have created your own personal schedule. All your events will appear under "My Event Planner" on your smartphone.

ABSTRACT: As InfiniBand (IB) and High-speed Ethernet (HSE) technologies mature
in their support for next generation high-end Computing (HEC) systems,
many scientists, engineers and researchers are becoming interested in
learning the details of these technologies. Large-scale deployments of
these technologies are also bringing new challenges in terms of
performance, scalability, portability, reliability and network
congestion issues. This tutorial will provide details about the
advanced features (hardware and software) of these emerging
technologies and how the above challenges are being addressed. It
will start with an overview of the current large-scale deployments of
clusters and the associated challenges being faced. Advanced hardware
and software features of both IB and HSE and their capabilities to
alleviate these bottlenecks will be emphasized. Challenges in
designing next generation systems with these advanced features will be
focused. Details on the OpenFabrics software stack (including how
to program with it), Subnet Management infrastructure and tools will be focused. Case studies and experiences in designing HPC clusters (with
MPI-1 and MPI-2), PGAS designs, SDP, GPU computing, and cloud
computing systems (including Hadoop, memcached and IB-WAN) will be presented together with the associated performance numbers and comparisons.
