In conjunction with The 2008 International Conference on Computational Science and Its Applications (ICCSA 2008, UCHPC ’08 is a technical session on UnConventional High Performance Computing. This session focuses on uses of hardware for HPC that was not originally intended for HPC. UCHPC invites papers on all aspects of unconventional HPC and its related areas describing either proven and tested solutions or novel ideas and concepts. Topics for submissions include but are not limited to the following areas: cluster solutions; performance issues and scalability; innovative use of hardware and software; and HPC on GPUs, Cell BE, FPGAs and other hardware. Please see the Call for Papers for more information.
