First International Workshop of Project SNOW

November 23rd, UFSC, Florianópolis, Brazil

The SNOW Project aims at developing a comprehensive parallel programming environment for clusters of workstations, enabling high-performance applications to run seamlessly on such platforms. The goal of the First International Workshop of Project SNOW is to bring together project members and researchers working in the area of cluster computing to discuss state-of-the-art solutions as well as future trends for the project.

During the workshop, partners will present preliminary results of ongoing research and invited guests will present related work to make the event more interesting to the scientific community.
