- Organization
-
- SUPER! is a user group of university faculty and staff involved
- in high performance computing on IBM systems, including vector
- and parallel computers, workstation clusters and visualization
- systems. Researchers, faculty, computing center management, and
- technical support staff are invited to participate. The goals of
- SUPER! are to:
-
- - provide critical feedback to IBM concerning strategic
- directions in high-performance computing for research and
- education.
-
- - promote and encourage the early involvement of universities
- with IBM product developers.
-
- - sponsor forums including, an annual conference, to share
- information and experiences related to IBM high performance
- computing developments.
-
- The SUPER! Steering Committee:
-
- - meets with IBM developers several times a year to discuss
- issues related to high-performance computing in higher
- education.
-
- - plans the annual SUPER! conference.
-
- - communicates with its constituency through the
- SUPERIBM@ukcc.uky.edu electronic listserv.
