The 2010 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing (Cluster 2010) will be held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, from September 20 to September 24, 2010. Authors are invited to present their on-going or recently finished work related to cluster computing in the poster session of Cluster 2010. All accepted poster papers will be included in the Cluster 2010 proceedings.

Topics include, but are not limited to the following:

• Novel Architectures
• Multicore CPUs
• GPUs
• FPGA accelerators
• Heterogeneous computing platforms
• Cluster Software and Middleware
• System Tools for "Green" Computing
• Power-aware cluster computing
• Software Environments and Tools
• Single-System Image Services
• Parallel File Systems and I/O Libraries
• Standard Software for Clusters
• Cluster Networking
• High-Speed Interconnects
• High Performance Message Passing Libraries
• Lightweight Communication Protocols
• Applications
  
• Application Methods and Algorithms
  
• Adaptation to Multi-Core
  
• Data Distribution, Load Balancing & Scaling
  
• MPI/OpenMP Hybrid Computing
  
• Visualization
  
• Performance Analysis and Evaluation
  
• Benchmarking & Profiling Tools
  
• Performance Prediction & Modeling
  
• Cluster Management
  
• Virtualization Technology
  
• Security and Reliability
  
• High Availability Solutions

The poster session will be from 6 pm to 8 pm on Tuesday, September 21. Poster authors will have access to foam core boards on easels, to which posters can be tacked. The boards will be 30 inches (75 cm) wide and 40 inches (100 cm) high.

Authors can put up their posters starting at the afternoon break on Tuesday, and can take them down after the afternoon break on Wednesday.

Consideration for a Cluster 2010 Poster will be based on the submission of a paper (maximum 4 pages). It must follow the same format as the technical papers (see the Call for Papers announcement).

Submissions must be made via the Poster Submission link at https://cmt2.research.microsoft.com/CP2010/. All accepted poster papers will be included in the Cluster 2010 proceedings.
