I was able to get our BoF moved to Wednesday so that it doesn't conflict with the committee luncheon. Please update your calendars. -d Begin forwarded message:

Darius - We have been able to accomplish the impossible... :) We were able to move your BoF BoF 134: MPICH: A High-Performance Open-Source MPI Implementation

from Thursday at 12:15 to Wednesday at 12:15 in room 399. Please note this new room has seating to accommodate 94 people.

Hopefully this accommodation will support your committee meetings. Debbie Gracio

Several of the members of our team are on the SC papers committee, and the scheduling of our BoF conflicts with the committee luncheon. Would it be possible to change our BoF time, e.g., if there is another BoF that we could switch with?

I understand that scheduling these things is difficult to begin with, and changing the schedule is even more so, so we understand if this is not possible.

Thanks for your consideration, Darius

Dear Darius Buntinas:

We are delighted to inform you that your Birds of a Feather submission to ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conference 2010 (SC10):

bof134s1 MPICH: A High-Performance Open-Source MPI Implementation

has been accepted for inclusion in the conference in November.

This year, the SC10 Birds of a Feather program received 106 high quality submissions, with many new submissions not previously covered at SC before. Your proposal was thoroughly reviewed by a committee of 8 leaders in the HPC community with a cross-section of backgrounds in computing and domain-based sciences. After the peer review process, in which each BoF was assigned to three reviewers, we have built an exciting program with 64 technical discussions on a broad range of topics. As SC strives to engage the formation of new communities, and to continue to support innovative and cutting-edge advances in HPC technologies and applications domains, we developed review criteria that would support and further these goals.

We are in the process of building the program schedule for the BoF's and will need to confirm your participation. To acknolwedge and confirm your participation, the contact person for the BoF can view the reviews of your paper by logging into the submission site (https://submissions.supercomputing.org) and clicking on the 'Reviews' link for the BoF. This also acknowledges that you have received this notification and plan to present at the conference by clicking on the 'Confirm' Button below your BoF title.

We expect to have an exceptionally strong and exciting program this year and are looking forward to seeing you in New Orleans in November.
