CBC Workshop on High-Performance Computing and Biomedical Flows - May 19-21, 2008

CBC will hold a three-day summer conference May 19-21, focusing on biomedical flows and high-performance computing. Our aim is to strengthen the interaction between the CBC staff, external collaborators and international domain experts, while also spreading useful knowledge and technologies to a broader scientific audience. Within the biomedical flows theme, we will in particular focus on the flow of blood in the Circle of Willis and its consequence on aneurysm development and rupture, the cerebrospinal fluid flow associated with the Chiari I malformation and the fluid-structure interaction problem in the mitral valve. Several topics within high-performance computing, a fundamental supporting technology for all the CBC research activities, will be presented to the audience. The HPC topics include sustainable software development, component-based computational frameworks, parallel programming, and use of modern programming languages and hardware.

Total number of participants: 37
Number of different nationalities represented: 10
Total number of speakers: 15
Total number of talks: 16
