SCOPE:
Myrinet Networks are currently emerging as a new and widely discussed
way of interconnecting multiple processing nodes in switched SAN, LAN
and campus-wide backbones. The Myrinet technology is a very efficient
reliable Gigabit per second interconnect that allows to reach the
network throughput and very low latency that is needed by challenging
applications like cluster computing, video toolbox, high availability
servers, Internet caches, etc.
The objective of the First Myrinet User Group Conference 2000 is to bring
together researchers actively involved in the development and
applications of Myrinet technology. Through presentations, industrial
sessions and open discussions. We aim to exchange experiences, to
review successes and setbacks, to identify promising research avenues
and application domains, to foster new collaborations.
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Myrinet drivers and low level APIs
- user-level communication layers and high performance protocols
- support of programming models on Myrinet (MPI, PVM, ...)
- performance evaluation, monitoring, and benchmarking
- comparison to other SAN/LAN technologies
- issues in Building Scalable Services
- file Systems and Parallel I/O
- job and network resource Management
- data Distribution and Load Balancing
- programming Paradigms/Environment for Clusters
- protocols, routing, and topologies
- configuration and management of large Myrinet clusters
- Scientific, Engineering, and Commercial Applications on Myrinet Clusters
PROCEEDINGS:
The workshop proceedings (containing accepted papers) will be
published by INRIA. The proceedings will also be available on the Web.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS:
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research papers to
the Program Chair. All submissions will be reviewed by the program
committee members and external referees. Please ensure that papers

LOCATION :
The First Myrinet User Group Conference will be held in Lyon, France
28th and 29th September 2000.
Lyon, the natural crossroads between northern Europe and the
Mediterranean coast, is located in the heart of the Rhône-Alpes
region, an area of greatly contrasted topography with the Alps to the
east, the Massif Central plateau to the west, and the Saône-Rhône
valley sweeping down the middle.
Lyon is France's second city, and in its quiet, unassertive way, it is
truly one of the great cities of Europe, with a visible history
spanning 2,000 years, a Renaissance old quarter, a clutch of
outstanding museums, two scenic rivers, one of the largest and most
beguiling parks in Europe, and a lively arts scene.
More information about Lyon and MUG location can be obtained via the web page.
