Since some questions have been asked about the scope of the SC Desktop offering for SC 2005 this November, we've put together the following.
What is SC Desktop? Put simply, the ability to attend the technical program (and more) of SC 2005 from your desktop. What will I be able to see? (Refer http://sc05.supercomputing.org/schedule/schedule.php for descriptions of the following) o Plenary Talks o Cray/Fernbach Memorial Award Talks o All 4 Technical Paper Tracks o 1 Masterwork Track (TBD) o 1 Exhibitor Forum Track (TBD) In addition, you will have access to the Conference Keynote and the events in the SC Global Showcase. What do I need to participate? A resonably current machine, running Windows 2000/XP or Linux. The registration fee includes a limited license for and training on the inSors client software (for Windows 2000/XP). Windows and Linux users can also use the AG Toolkit (2.3 or higher). For further details, see: http://sc05.supercomputing.org/programs/sc_global_desktop.php OK - this sounds pretty cool, how much does it cost? Member (ACM/IEEE) $60 Non-Member $75 Student $15 How do I register? Registration is through the normal registration process: https://reg.jspargo.com/sc2005/reg/ What's the deadline? October 15th.
