At the SunHPC 2004 event, sessions will be offered on Sun compilers, the Sun performance analyzer and the Sun HPC ClusterToolsTM environment and more. Learn how to get optimal performance out of UltraSPARCR III, IIIi, and III Cu based Sun workstations and servers.

Topics include program tuning, good application performance, tuning shared and distributed memory parallel applications using automatic parallelization. Also learn about third-party software products that augment the programmer's tool suite on the Sun systems: TotalView, KAP Pro/Toolset, Vampir. Prepared lab exercises will be made available.
