Intel^TM To Feature 20 Industry Expert Presentations From SC2002 Booth

The Intel booth at SC2002, booth # 1835, will be the location of twenty featured presentations by HPC industry experts from November 19 to 21 at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Over the course of three days, SC2002 attendees will be able to hear noted industry experts addressing a wide range of topics related to HPC clusters and grids. Intel has orchestrated this impressive line-up of speakers to provide attendees a comprehensive look at the tools, technology and collaborations that power the full range of HPC installations as well as a chance to peek under the hood of some of today's cutting edge clusters and grids. Speakers include a range of high-level HPC leaders, from industry technology providers to end user organizations to Intel scientists.

SC2002 attendees are invited to visit the Intel booth to pick up the latest schedule of speakers.
