SC Global

The SC Conference (http://www.sc-conference.org/) is the premiere technical and industrial meeting for high-end networking and computing and computational science. At the SC’2001 conference, held in Denver Nov. 10-16 2001, we created the first truly global technical conference on the Grid: a multi-national and multi-cultural meeting place for communication and discussion of ideas relating to high-end computing and communications and its impacts on science and society.

The SC Global event used Access Grid technology (www.accessgrid.org) to link the SC Core at the Denver Convention Center with dozens of SC Constellation Sites distributed both across the U.S. and worldwide. A rich set of panels, workshops, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and invited talks exploited the SC Global infrastructure to enable communication and discussion among the international community and across a broad spectrum of U.S. institutions. SC Constellation sites developed unique local programs that combined SC Global with local material.   See an Overview for SC Global 2001.  View SC Global 2001Team.

Constellation Sites

Constellation Sites were remote Access Grid Nodes dedicated to the SC Global event at SC2001. Constellation Sites were "designed spaces" that supported the high-end audio/video technology needed to provide a compelling and productive user experience. Such Constellation Sites deployed AG technology and organized local and wide area networking. The sites were responsible for developing a local program that consumed and contributed to SC2001, as well as local events.
