Registration Open, Call for Speakers for Gelato ICE: Itanium(r) Conference &
Expo Singapore 2006

The Gelato Federation (www.gelato.org) announced today the opening of
registration for the Gelato ICE: Itanium(r) Conference & Expo to be held on
October 1-4, 2006 at the Biopolis in Singapore. Gelato ICE is the world's
only conference dedicated specifically to Linux(r) on the Intel(r) Itanium
architecture. The conference will be hosted by the Bioinformatics Institute,
Institute of High Performance Computing, and National Grid Office and will be
sponsored by HP. Conference sponsor and exhibitor opportunities are still
available. For attendees, an Early Bird discount is in effect until September
1, 2006. 

Gelato ICE Singapore will feature three full days and 40 technical
presentations spotlighting Linux on Itanium-based platforms. Presenters will
include international experts working on this architecture and speaking on
topics such as: optimization, scalability, compilers, and grids. New for
Gelato ICE Singapore are program tracks targeting Itanium processor customers
and multi-core programming. 

"With the upcoming release of the dual-core Intel Itanium 'Montecito'
processor, we are very pleased to provide ICE presentations on multi-core
programming to address the software challenges and opportunities it brings,"
stated Mark K. Smith, Gelato managing director. "We are also excited about
holding Gelato ICE in Singapore, given the strong Itanium processor adoption
rate in the Asia-Pacific region."

Gelato ICE is *the* conference for technical users, application and tool
developers, system researchers and vendors, and ISVs looking to extend the
impact of Linux on Itanium architecture. The event will address current
high-performance computing issues and 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 researchers, system vendors, industrial users,
and ISVs. Participants will learn how to maximize the performance of their
systems and discover which tools to use and how to use them. More information
is available at www.ice.gelato.org.

Call for Speakers

Gelato ICE is seeking quality technical speakers to share their expertise of
Linux on Itanium architecture for the October 2006 conference. We are looking
for a wide-variety of presenters--researchers, developers, engineers, end
users, system vendors, and ISVs--knowledgeable about the platform and willing
to give a speech on a technical level.

Are you wrapping up an interesting project that involves the Itanium
architecture? Do you have an idea for a compelling presentation topic?
Perhaps you or someone you know would be an interesting speaker? If so, now
is the time to start thinking about submitting your contribution for
consideration as part of the Gelato ICE technical program. Gelato will be
accepting speaker/topic proposals until July 31, 2006.
