10:45 – 11:30

3 parallel breakout groups (chemistry, CFD, others)


Key question: What are your scientific ambitions when petascale systems become available?

11:30 -11:45 Coffee
11:45 -12:00 Summary of each breakout group: 5 minutes each
12:00 -12:15 Example of highly parallel project: Prof. dr. Simon Portegies Zwart, University of Leiden

12:45 -13:30 Lunch
13:30 -14:00 DEISA/DECI, DCCP and Huygens support: Drs. Walter Lioen, SARA
14:00 -14:15 Example of highly parallel project: Prof. dr. ir. Harm Jonker, Delft University of Technology
14:15 -15:00

3 parallel breakout groups (chemistry, CFD, others)

Key question: What are the challenges for my application if I really want to use petascale systems efficiently? Is my application sufficiently parallel? What kind of support would I need?

15:00 -15:15 Coffee/tea
15:15 -15:30 Summary of each breakout group: 5 minutes each
15:30 -16:30 Discussion on how to proceed, announcements
16:30 -16:45 Summary of the results, plan forward
16:45 -17:30 Informal drinks, closure
