Track 1: Computing Technology for Physics Research
Plenary talk
With the introduction of clustered storage, combining a set of hosts to a single storage system, a very successful standard data access protocol, NFS2/3 became obsolete. One of the reasons was that NFS 2/3 assumes the name service part of the protocol being severed from the same host as the actual data, which is of course no longer true for clustered systems. As a result, high performance...

Track 2 : Data Analysis - Algorithms and Tools
Plenary talk
For very sound reasons, including the central limit theorem and mathematical tractability, classical multivariate statistics was heavily based on the multivariate normal distribution. However, the development of powerful computers, as well as increasing numbers of very large data sets, has led to a dramatic blossoming of research in this area, and the development of entirely new tools for...

Track 3: Computations in Theoretical Physics - Techniques and Methods
Plenary talk
I discuss recently developed formulations of lattice Fermions possessing
near-exact chiral symmetry. These are particularly appropriate for the
simulation of complex weak matrix elements. I also discuss the state
of the art of supercomputing for Lattice simulation

Track 2 : Data Analysis - Algorithms and Tools
Plenary talk
Multivariate datasets in astrophysics can be large, with the
increasing volume of information now becoming available from a range
of observations, from ground and Space, across the electromagnetic
spectrum. The observations are in the form of raw images and/or
spectra, and tables of derived quantities, obtained at multiple epochs
in time. Large archives of images, spectra and catalogues...
