UNIVERSITY OF WALES ------------------- C A L L F O R P A P E R S ----------------------------- COLLOQUIUM ON APPLICATIONS OF HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING -------------------------------------------------------- Gregynog House, Newtown, Powys, SY16 3PW, WALES 7 - 9 April 1997 Scope of Colloquium: Authors are invited to present papers on recent advances and the usage of High Performance Computing (HPC) in a variety of fields in Wales, the Midlands and West of England, although contributors from further afield will be welcome. A wide variety of topics are envisaged from both Academia and Industry which may include for example: distributed computing, parallel computing, Geotechnics, structural engineering, finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, computational electrodynamics, galaxy formation, aerodynamics, solid state physics, etc. The purpose of the meeting is to highlight and promote the usage of High Performance Computing and networking in Industry and Higher education institutes. Speakers from vendors would be encouraged to give talks on HPC applications as opposed to specific hardware platforms, Talks will range for 15 to 30 minutes with longer for key note speakers. The colloquium is intended to be informal and will be held at the magnificent country house of Gregynog, a residential educational centre of the University of Wales. The house which is steeped in history is situated in a wooded parkland estate of some 750 acres. With this backdrop of setting it is hoped that this meeting with its wide scope of interests in High Performance Computing will be of a great interest and pleasure for all participants.
