Program Notes

Special Interest Group (SIG) Meetings

The Special Interest Groups (SIGs) hold interactive sessions that are open to all interested CUG attendees. A separate interactive session will be held again this year for each of the three standing groups. Please check the schedule for day and time of the meetings. These meetings provide a forum to become acquainted with people from other CUG sites who share your interests, to discuss the future direction of the SIG and other important issues, and to hear talks of special interest. Liaisons from Cray, Inc. will be available for each SIG to help address questions and to foster communications between the SIG and Cray. You are encouraged to attend any of these open meetings. The XTreme SIG meetings are "Closed Door" sessions. For information regarding these sessions please contact SIG Chair, Jim Craw (NERSC).

Program Suggestions

The Program Committee needs your ideas! We encourage you to share your suggestions on how to improve the conference with the CUG Vice-President, CUG Directors, and/or any of the SIG Chairs. The CUG Conference Program is the net result of the combined efforts of all interested CUG participants. You can make a unique contribution to the next CUG conference with your suggestions. Help establish the future direction of CUG and let us know how to help you make the most of your Cray system!

The conference evaluation will be available online starting Wednesday, May 26 at 8:00 AM until Thursday, May 27 at 5:00 PM. Please go to www.cug.org/4-organization/eval_survey/ to complete the evaluation.

Cell Phone and Pager Policy

Please silence your cell phone and/or pager during conference sessions. There will be ample time to check your messages outside of the conference sessions. Please extend this courtesy to our presenters and your fellow attendees.

Changes to the Program

We always anticipate there will be some changes to the Program schedule. Check the Message Board on site at the conference each day for schedule changes. Changes should be announced at the first morning session as well. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
