The 12th Annual IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing (HiPC 2005) opened at a Goa beach resort and the deliberations for the next four days will lay emphasis on the design and analysis of high-performance parallel, distributed and networked systems and their scientific, engineering and commercial applications. "The conference will also witness highly technical deliberations on logistical and other problems faced in securing global linkages for high performance computers used by the scientific and research communities in weather forecasting, space research and bio-technology," said Manish Parashar, general chairman of the conference. "Almost half of the 300-odd delegates at the conference are professionals and academicians from North America," Parashar, himself a professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at Rutgers University, New Jersey, told IANS. The conference has for the last eleven years been organised at different Indian cities, offering local students and computational science communities an opportunity to mingle with the world's best in the business.ar/zmn (IANS) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Goa - 2005 Santosh Trophy Champions | | | | Support Soccer Activities at the grassroots in our villages | | Vacationing in Goa this year-end - Carry and distribute Soccer Balls | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
