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
     Networks, Interconnects, and Protocols
