<P>The recent advances in high speed networks and improved microprocessor performance are making clusters or networks of workstations an appealing vehicle for cost effective parallel computing. Clusters built using commodity hardware and software components are playing a major role in redefining the concept of supercomputing, and has now become the mainstream technology for High Performance Computing and Information Technology.<BR><BR>Cluster 2008 is hosted in the high–tech city of Tsukuba. Here you will experience an open forum with fellow cluster researchers, system designers and installers, and users for presenting and discussing new directions, opportunities and ideas that will shape Cluster Computing. Cluster 2008 welcomes paper and poster submissions on innovative work from researchers in academia, industry and government describing original research work in cluster computing.<BR></P> <P><B>Keywords:</B> </P> <LI>Cluster Software and Middleware<BR> – System Tools for ″Green″ Computing<BR> – Software Environments and Tools<BR> – Single–System Image Services<BR> – Parallel File Systems and I/O Libraries<BR> – Standard Software for Clusters<BR> – Cluster Networking<BR> – High–Speed Interconnects<BR> – High Performance Message Passing Libraries<BR> – Lightweight Communication Protocols <LI>Applications<BR> – Application Methods and Algorithms<BR> – Adaptation to Multi–Core<BR> – Data Distribution, Load Balancing & Scaling<BR> – MPI/OpenMP Hybrid Computing<BR> – Visualization <LI>Performance Analysis and Evaluation<BR> – Benchmarking & Profiling Tools<BR> – Performance Prediction & Modeling <LI>Cluster Management<BR> – Virtualization Technology<BR> – Security and Reliability<BR> – High Availability Solutions<BR> – Resource and Job Management<BR> – Administration and Maintenance Tools</LI>
