High Performance Computing and the Internet2
in Life Sciences Research

Biomedical Research Institutions Information Technology Exchange

Hartwell Center for Bioinformatics and Biotechnology
St. Jude Children's Hospital
Memphis, TN

11–13 December 2002



GOALS OF THE MEETING


The meeting will focus on the role and application of High Performance Computing and the Internet2 in life sciences research. High-performance networking, typified by the Internet2, coupled with grid computing initiatives at the supercomputing centers and elsewhere are changing the size and scope of problems that can be addressed. How do biomedical research groups tap into these resources and effectively use them for computation and collaborative potential they represent.

Ample time will also be allotted to special interest groups and technology exchange sessions.
