Organizing and assisting in the management of meetings is a main component
of Krell’s business.
DOE CSGF
Fellows’ Conference
The Krell Institute has managed the annual DOE CSGF Fellows’ conference,
held in Washington D.C., for nearly ten years. This annual gathering
brings together the DOE CSGF Fellows, as well as industry, lab and
government leaders, and provides an opportunity for Fellows to meet
and discuss research activities. The 2006 Conference celebrated
the Fellowship's "15 years of excellence".
DOE CSGF Congressional Breakfast
Held in conjunction with the Fellows’ Conference since 2004,
the Congressional Breakfast has been managed by Krell, providing government
officials an opportunity to meet with their constituent Fellows.
Supercomputing Conference 2006 (SC2006)
In November 2006, Krell personnel traveled to Tampa, FL to take part in the 2006
Supercomputing Conference. The conference highlighted the most
innovative developments in high-performance computing, storage and
networking with the theme, "Powerful Beyond Imagination". The Krell
Institute booth featured several DOE CSGF fellows presenting
their research, demos of the Linux performance tool Open|SpeedShop (a tutorial
was also presented during the conference), and a demonstration of the K-12
Computational Science Literacy Program. During the conference, Krell held
an awards ceremony which featured the presentation of the UCES awards for 2006.
Both the awards luncheon and conference were deemed an excellent success,
and Krell looks forward to taking part in SC 2007 in Reno, NV.
Department of Homeland
Security Advanced Scientific Computing Requirements Workshops
In an effort to help define its Advanced Scientific Computing (ASC)
program, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called a
series of Advanced Scientific
Computing (ASC) Requirements workshops. To date, Krell has
assisted in planning and organizing four DHS meetings:
an overview of
ASC research and development topic areas; and workshops in
incident management simulation,
data sciences, and
text analysis.
Additional future meetings are in the planning stages.
The ultimate aim of these workshops is to help define an enduring
applied research capability for DHS that will bring together a
critical mass of computer scientists and applied mathematicians
from around the nation to focus on homeland security.
Mission Computing Conference
Under the broad title of Mission Computing Conference (MCC),
Krell organized, provided on-site assistance, and designed websites
for two important Department of Energy conferences.
The first of these,
jointly sponsored by DOE, the Department of Defense, and NASA, was
held in 2002; the
second conference took place in February 2003. Each of
these conferences addressed some aspect of high-performance computing
needs for specific scientific research areas.
Computational Engineering
and Science Conference (CESC)
Krell worked with a steering and program committee to organize
the first-ever Computational Engineering and Science Conference in
April 2005. Focused on the topic of combustion,
this conference
(known as CESC 2005)
brought together the top combustion scientists in the nation from
the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Defense (DoD) and the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as the primary
organizing agencies. The following conference,
CESC 2007,
was held in April 2007; its focus was nuclear energy and
reactor simulation. Another conference,in 2009, is in the planning stages.
