XHPC'06 - Call for Participation
Workshop on XEN in High-Performance
Cluster and Grid Computing Environments
4th of December, 2006, Sorrento, Italy.
held as part of the Fourth International
Symposium on Parallel and Distributed
Processing and Applications (ISPA'2006)
ISPA'2006: http://www.ispa-conference.org/2006/
Workshop URL: http://xhpc.ai.wu-wien.ac.at/ws/
The Xen virtual machine monitor is
reaching wide-spread adoption in a variety of
operating systems as well as
scientific-educational usage areas. With its low
overhead, Xen allows for concurrently
running large numbers of virtual machines,
providing each encapsulation, isolation
and network-wide CPU migratability.
Xen offer a network-wide abstraction
layer of individual machine resources to
OS environments, thereby opening whole
new cluster-and grid high-performance
computing (HPC) architectures and
services options.
The workshop will provide
researchers-operators of HPC installations a unique
forum for exploring virtual machines in
a HPC context. In addition to the paper
presentations, participants will find
many interaction opportunities.
