The International Conference on Supercomputing (ICS) is the premier international forum for the presentation of research results in high-performance computing systems. This year the conference will be held at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY, one of the industry's premier research facilities. The Center is located in the Lower Hudson Valley of New York, the battleground of the revolutionary wars for US independence and many historic events in US history. The scenic Hudson River Valley is home to historic mansions of some of the United States' most famous industrialists and several former presidents. The area is within easy reach of New York City. The conference hotel, the Westchester Marriott, is one of Westchester County's finest hotels and within easy reach of the Research Center. ACM has negotiated a reduced rate of USD 149 (single or double occupancy including internet access) which is available from June 5, 2009 through June 15, 2009 (click for additional details).

 

This year's program will consist of workshops and tutorials on Monday, June 8 and Friday, June 12, as well as the technical conference from Tuesday, June 9 to Thursday, June 11. The technical program, workshops and tutorials will cover a broad range of research, development, and application of high-performance experimental and commercial systems, including:

  • Computationally challenging scientific and commercial applications
  • Architecture and hardware aspects: high-performance and power-aware microarchitectures, multithreading
  • High-performance computational and programming models
  • Hardware and software aspects of computational accelerators
  • Novel infrastructures for Internet, Grid and Cloud computing
  • Performance evaluation studies and theoretical underpinnings
  • Large scale installations in the Petaflop era

XtreemOS-related tutorial "Security and VO management in Grids"

Date: June 12th 2009 (morning)

Tutorial organizers: Yvon Jegou and Christine Morin (INRIA)

This tutorial provides an overview of security and Virtual Organization management in established and new Grid systems. We survey the security and Virtual Organization management features provided by some major Grid middleware packages, and introduce the comparable functionality in XtreemOS, a Grid-based operating system. Concepts in Grid security are introduced, including their respective challenges and protection mechanisms. We describe the Globus, gLlite and UNICORE middleware packages, showing the services they provide, their VO management functions, and security abilities. The tutorial then explores the features of the XtreemOS Grid operating system, demonstrating the advantages of close integration between Grid functionality and operating system facilities.
