Bristol, UK – October 23, 2007 – ClearSpeed Technology (LSE:CSD), the world leader in acceleration for high performance computing (HPC), announces the first ClearSpeed User Group Meeting, which offers advanced technical training for porting HPC applications to ClearSpeed’s Advance™ accelerators. The meeting will take place on November 12 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada.
The ClearSpeed User Group Meeting is an opportunity for software developers to exchange coding tips and tricks, find out how peers are resolving software challenges, talk with ClearSpeeds technical experts, and learn about new coding techniques. Registration and additional information for the ClearSpeed User Group Meeting is available at developer.clearspeed.com/csug.
Technical discussions at the User Group Meeting will provide software developers with the information needed to create accelerated applications in a heterogeneous multi-core environment. Guest speakers include Jamil Appa, senior principle engineer at BAE Systems; Philip Brown, PhD student at Bristol University; Steve Reinhardt, vice president of joint research at Interactive Supercomputing Inc., and Tobias Brandvik, PhD Student at Whittle Laboratory, Cambridge University.
“Software developers must rethink the way they construct their codes in order to tap the performance potential of accelerated contemporary multi-core hardware architectures,” observed Nathan Brookwood, research fellow at Insight 64. “The ClearSpeed User Group meeting during SC07 offers software professionals a great opportunity to exchange ideas with others seeking to maximize the potential of HPC applications.”
In addition to the User Group Meeting, ClearSpeed has launched the ClearSpeed Developer Program, which provides developers with the information and tools they need to accelerate their applications. Membership includes access to ClearSpeeds developer website, developer.clearspeed.com which will officially launch November 12. The program also provides developers with early access to new software releases, developer forums, technical updates, advantageous pricing and access to user group meetings and events. Additional information and registration for the ClearSpeed Developer Program is available at developer.clearspeed.com.
