SYMPOSIUM INFORMATION BACKGROUND

High performance scientific and engineering computing has developed to a key technology which will play an important role in determining, or at least shaping, future R & D activities in many branches of business and technology. The Bavarian Consortium for High Performance Scientific Computing (FORTWIHR) has contributed significantly to the development of high performance scientific computing (HPSC) and is currently engaged in the transfer of the results of this development into practice. The work of FORTWIHR will be presented in the framework of an international conference, focusing on the work of nationally and internationally renowned research groups. The presentations will be made in the form of lectures and posters, such that a good overview of the status of high performance scientific computing can be obtained. The conference will give an overview of the various subfields of HPSC, such as

• development of advanced numerical methods (adaptive multilevel methods, e.g.),
• parallel computing and parallel computer codes,
• high performance visualization and grid generation,
• applications to numerical fluid mechanics and material sciences,
• applications to dynamic systems, semiconductor technology, and electric systems design.

REGISTRATION

The pre-registration fee for the Conference is DM 200 before February 28, 1998. The fee after this date is DM 250. All participants must register and pay the full fee. This fee includes a copy of the extended abstracts, 3 lunches, refreshements at the coffee breaks and a copy of the final Conference Proceedings to be published by Springer Verlag.
