In less than a decade, clusters of commodity PCs have become the most cost-effective computing platforms for executing a wide range of high performance applications from molecular biology simulations to search and indexing on the Internet.
In spite of countless deployed platforms and resounding application successes, many research and development challenges remain for achieving better performance, scalability, and usability. The IEEE TFCC Cluster 2005 conference provides an open forum for researchers, practitioners, and users to present and discuss issues, directions, and results that will shape the future of cluster computing.
As cluster architecture is becoming a more mature field of application it remains particularly important to maintain an event that links the academic interests and new ideas to the experience reports of practitioners and application developers.
See the upcoming Call for Participation for more details.
