May 2004 Gelato Federation Meeting -- Illinois, USA
More than 90 representatives of 30 different Gelato Federation Member institutions and corporations met at the University of Illinois May 24-26, 2004, to review and exchange research advances for Linux on the Intel Itanium® 2 platform. The 2-1/2 day meeting, hosted by Gelato founding members NCSA and the University of Illinois Coordinated Science Laboratory, was the largest in the Federation's history, as well as the first held in the USA since Gelato was launched in early 2002.
Over two dozen scientific presentations by top research and industry users of Linux on Itanium focused on high-performance computing issues and collaborative solutions among member institutions. Members showcased posters of their current gelato-related projects. The program also included a full day of meetings for Gelato's technology focus groups (Clusters and Grids, Parallel File Systems, and Box Scalability) and opportunities to interact informally with representatives from Hewlett-Packard, Intel, SGI, TopSpin Communications, Cluster File Systems, Inc., LinuxHPC.org, and others.
Aside from the technical presentations and discussions, attendees were treated to a variety of social events: pre-meeting dinners in Campustown, a formal reception at Grainger Library, and a special barbeque at beautiful Homer Lake. Take a look at some of the photographs.
