Registration Open, Call for Speakers for Gelato ICE: Itanium® Conference & Expo Singapore 2007
URBANA, Ill. (June 26, 2007)—The Gelato Federation announced today the opening of registration for the Gelato ICE: Itanium® Conference & Expo to be held on October 1-2, 2007 at the Biopolis in Singapore. Gelato ICE is the world's only conference dedicated specifically to Linux® on the Intel® Itanium architecture. The conference will be hosted by the Bioinformatics Institute, Institute of High Performance Computing, and National Grid Office. Conference sponsor and exhibitor opportunities are still available. For attendees, an Early Bird discount is in effect until September 7, 2007.
Gelato ICE 2007 will feature two full days and 40+ technical presentations spotlighting Linux on Itanium-based platforms. Technical program content will include presentations on multi-core programming, virtualization, and Gelato member research as well as training sessions from industry participants. New for Gelato ICE 2007 Singapore are program tracks on reliability/availability/serviceability (RAS) and security, and advanced Itanium architecture, which will augment the Itanium® Solutions Alliance software developer fundamentals.
"The Itanium architecture was designed for mission-critical, data-intensive workloads by offering great scalable performance and RAS as critical product differentiators. We are very pleased to provide ICE presentations on these topics," stated Mark K. Smith, Gelato managing director. "We are also excited about once again holding Gelato ICE in Singapore, given the strong Itanium processor adoption rate in the Asia-Pacific region."
Gelato ICE is *the* conference for ISVs, system integrators, technical users, application and tool developers, and system researchers and vendors looking to unlock the potential of Linux on Itanium architecture. The event will address current enterprise and technical computing issues, collaborative solutions specific to Linux on the Itanium processor, and will feature presentations, poster sessions, and the exchange of information in formal and informal settings. Attendees can network with key ISVs, system vendors, and industrial users. Participants will learn how to maximize the performance of their systems and discover which tools to use and how to use them.
Gelato ICE 2007 will be the year's highpoint for those wanting to learn more about using and developing Linux on Itanium architecture. Anyone working with this platform—or thinking about working with the platform—should attend. More information is available at www.ice.gelato.org.
