Birds-of-a-Feathers (BOF)Sessions

Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions allow people to discuss topics of mutual interest. SC2003 is providing meeting room facilities for the BOFs, which are open to all conference attendees, including exhibitors and exhibits-only badge holders.

A variety of subjects are up for discussion, ranging from HPC hardware to HPC applications and HPC community issues. Highlights include a town hall meeting on the future of supercomputing; a forum on collaborations among the humanities, arts, sciences, and technology; a discussion of HPC innovation for nanotechnology; and various user group meetings.

Please keep your lunchtime and early evening schedules free so that you can join other SC2003 participants to discuss opinions on topics that are important to you. SC2003 will post a daily schedule for the BOFs.
