Special Interest Group (SIG) Meetings

SIGs will hold meetings on Tuesday morning and Friday afternoon that are open to all interested CUG attendees. They provide a forum to become acquainted with other CUG sites which share your interests and to discuss the future direction of the SIG, important issues, and talks of special interest. You are encouraged to attend any of these open meetings.

Interactive Sessions

Interactive Sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday each provide a forum for interaction between CUG and SGI or Cray Inc. with more time than a Parallel Technical Session and more focus than a General Session.

Program Committee Meeting

The SUMMIT Program Committee needs your ideas! While there is no Open Program Committee meeting scheduled for this conference, we urge you to share your suggestions of how to improve the conference with the members of the Program Lead Committee. The SUMMIT Program is the net result of the combined efforts of all interested CUG sites. You can make a unique contribution to the next CUG conference!

Cell Phone and Pager Policy

Please turn off your cell phone and/or pager during conference sessions.

Photography and Audio/Visual Policy

All photography, video recording and audio recording are forbidden, except with prior written permission from the Program Chair.

Visualization Video Theater

Supercomputers generate data that, via scientific visualization, can be transformed into pictures that provide a way for scientists to understand the information more fully and quickly. Although the primary purpose of visualization is to facilitate the discovery process, scientists are increasingly coming to rely on it also to present their research conclusions. This Thursday afternoon session showcases the latest in scientific/ engineering visualization. Bring your supercomputing visualization videos to share with the audience!

Changes to the Program

We always anticipate there will be some changes to the Program schedule. Check the Bulletin Boards on site at the conference each day for schedule changes. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
