This is the third annual gathering on high performance computing in Norway. The NOTUR 2003 conference is an ideal opportunity for researchers and engineers with interest in computational science to come together and be informed about the latest trends and developments in high performance computing in Norway and abroad. The meeting will gather a broad range of people, including HPC policy makers, project leaders, academic staff and students, computational scientists and engineers, system administrators, industrial partners, and hardware and software vendors. NOTUR 2003 is a forum for the exchange of ideas and competence among specialists in parallel computing and scientists from industry and academia solving large scale computational
problems. The meeting also provides an opportunity to discuss the current state of high performance computing in Norway and requirements for the future. The NOTUR Consortium is supported by the Research Council of Norway and the member institutions: The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Bergen, University of Oslo, University of Tromsø, SINTEF, Statoil, Ceetron and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. Representatives from all the member institutions, the Research Council, the ministries, the research community, universities, industry and all others who are interested in HPC are encouraged to attend the conference Program (Folder in PDF-format) The two days will give the audience a good update on what is happening in the high performance computing community in and outside Norway. Keynote speakers from the international community will share their experiences, views and opinions on both days. Wednesday May 14: (Start 10.00am) The first day will focus on research policy aspects of HPC together with the future of HPC in Norway. There will also be a presentation of current activities within NOTUR, the Technology Transfer Projects (TTPs) and emerging technologies like GRID and Cluster computing. A conference dinner will be held in the evening. Thursday May 15: Day two will focus on applications of HPC in traditional and new sciences like bioinformatics. Posters will be also be presented. In the afternoon, there will be a round table discussion on the future of HPC in science and technology in Norway. (End ca. 3.30pm) Confirmed Speakers: (more speakers will be added to this list as soon as they have confirmed)
Location The meeting will take place in Audiotorium 1 in Georg Sverdrups Building (building 27 on the map) at the Campus of the University of Oslo, Blindern. Click here for a map on how to get there. From the Airport: One can take the airport express bus to Gaustad (50 minutes, cost 110 NOK) and walk 10 minutes to the Conference Site. Another way is to take the airport expres train 'flytoget' (25 minutes, cost 140 NOK) or the airport bus (60 minutes, cost 110 NOK) to Downtown Oslo, and the Central Station (OSLO S). From there either take the Subway (line 3 or 5, westbound) or Taxi (150 NOK) to the Conference site at Blindern. A taxi from the airport directly to Blindern takes about 40-50 minutes and costs ca. 600 NOK. Social event: The dinner on day one will be held on SS Christiania and will include a boat trip on the Oslo fjord. The boat leaves from the harbour below the City Hall at 2000. For more information about the boat please check the website of Norway Yacht Charter. Accommodation Hotel reservations must be made as early as possible, as there are only a limited number of rooms available during the meeting period. A detailed list of hotels and guesthouses in Oslo (with online reservation) is available online. The University of Oslo has agreed a special arrangement (875 NOK for single room) with:
