20th Anniversary Gala Reception and Dinner, Tennis Hall of Fame

Wednesday, March 29, 2006 at 6:30p.m

The Tennis Hall of Fame at the Newport Casino, site of the first U.S. National Championships in 1881, was founded by tennis innovator James Van Alen in 1954 as "a shrine to the ideals of the game." The Tennis Hall of Fame was officially sanctioned by the United States Tennis Association in 1954 and was recognized by the International Tennis Federation in 1986. Over the last ten years, the Hall of Fame complex and Museum have been restored to their original splendor with the 1997 completion of a five year, $7.5 million renovation and endowment project. 

In 1954, the Newport Casino was designated as the site of the International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum to preserve the historic legacy of the game of tennis. Designed by the distinguished architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White, the complex of buildings was completed in 1880 as a private club and playground for the wealthy summer residents of Newport, Rhode Island.

Announcing HPCC 2006

The 20^th Annual
National High Performance Computing and Communications Conference

Main Street Supercomputing:
The Convergence of HPC and Grid Computing

Now in its 20^th year, this limited attendance, high-level conference is a well-respected forum for strategists, technology and business decision makers, suppliers, end users and eco-system partners involved in high-end computing and communications technologies.

The audience, which includes senior professionals from DOD, government agencies, industry and academia, convenes each year to discuss topics of interest to the HPC community. Topics typically include homeland security; cyberspace security; government plans related to systems, software, applications and tools; updates on programs, policy and initiatives; and discussions of the latest advances in high performance computing, grid computing, cluster technology, computer security and university and industry research.

Over the past twenty years, the conference has grown into an elite community event and is well known for its networking and partnership-building environment.

This year’s program includes high level presentations from: DARPA, DOD, DOE, NASA, NSF, INTEL, SGI, OMB and the National Nuclear Security Administration, as well as two panel discussions: “Clusters, Grids, Supercomputers or Applications: What Will Drive HPC in the Future?” and “American HPC Enterprise Architecture in the Context of Everything Else.” The conference also includes a tutorial on 21^st Century Data Center Design, presented by American Power Conversion Corporation.

The conference also features two networking events: a welcoming reception at the end of the first day and a networking reception and dinner on Wednesday evening.

Program registration is available online at: http://www.hpcc-usa.org/reg.html

Conference information and exhibitor sponsor information is available at: http://www.hpcc-usa.org, or by phone at 401.624.1723.

Attendance is limited. Be sure to register early.
