The workshop will be hosted at Rice University on Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 and is the follow-on to the inaugural workshop organized at the 2007 SEG Annual Meeting in San Antonio. Our goal is that of creating an Oil and Gas HPC User Group that regularly meets to discuss industry specific needs and challenges and to engage in a dialog with HPC hardware and software vendors as well as academic research communities. The focus of this particular workshop is accelerators and hybrid computing, the future of parallel programming and tools, and storage and i/o solutions and needs associated with HPC systems deployed in oil and gas HPC environments.</p> <p align="center" class="style1"><strong>Oil and Gas High Performance Computing Workshop 2008</strong> <br> <strong>Tuesday, March 4, 2008<br> Rice University<br> McMurtry Auditorium - Duncan Hall<br> 7:45am - 4:00pm</strong></p> <p align="center" class="style1">The organizers are looking forward to seeing you for this workshop.<br> <br> <a href="http://citi2.rice.edu/OG-HPC-WS/registration.htm"><strong>REGISTER NOW! </strong></a></p> <p class="style1">If you are not able to attend this workshop but want to be notified of future events please sign up for being on our mailing list <a href="mailinglist.htm">here</a>.</p> 02/06/2008 http://www.media.rice.edu/media/NewsBot.asp?MODE=VIEW&ID=10944 The National Science Foundation has awarded $1.5 million to a Rice-led research team for the expansion of a wireless research network and the design and testing of experimental mobile systems and health-monitoring devices in East Houston's working-class Pecan Park neighborhood. The five-year project is a collaboration of researchers from Rice, The Methodist Hospital Research Institute and nonprofit Technology For All (TFA). 05/06/2008
