The NSC'08 workshop will focus on storage techniques for
small/fast and large/safe in the High Performance Computing
world. Presentations will reveal the latest developments within
Lustre, GPFS and other configurations with emphasis on the HPC
storage world. We will also get the latest status from the Nordic
countries about current storage projects. The Swedish Database
Infrastructure Committee (DISC) will present its organisation, and
laws and regulations in conjuction with large databases.
The conference fee for this track is SEK 1500 and includes the conference dinner
on Tuesday night. You will be sent an invoice for the fee after the conference.
