The 5th International Conference on Linux Clusters: The HPC Revolution 2004 is organized by the Linux Clusters Institute (LCI) for users and administrators of clusters for high-performance computing.

The HPC Revolution 2004 is the premier international forum to share information on management, administration, and scientific computing techniques on clusters. The conference will feature speakers from academia, research labs, and industry involved in cluster-based high-performance computing. These speakers will address efforts to integrate and develop science and engineering applications for clusters, in order to achieve maximum performance and scalability.

The conference program committee is soliciting novel papers, insightful technical presentations and practical tutorials on a broad range of topics related to systems integration, operation and support, end user applications, tools, and experiences. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

Development of Highly Scalable Applications
Porting Experiences
Performance Evaluation, Analysis, and Optimization
High Performance Applications and Libraries
Performance Tools
User Environments
Compilers
Clusters in Education
Production Management of HPC Linux Clusters
Clusters in Data Centers
New Experimental and Commercial Clusters
Clusters in Heterogeneous HPC Environments
System Management and Administration
Resource Management
Tools for Building and Administering Clusters
Scheduling and Load Balancing
Parallel I/O, File Systems, and Storage
