*About CREST*

CREST is the newest research center affiliated with the Pervasive Technology Institute. The mission of CREST is to transform dynamic data-driven computing through the development and application of revolutionary high-performance computing platforms.

CREST is led by Professor Andrew Lumsdaine of IU's School of Informatics and Computing. Prof. Lumsdaine has for many years been a national leader in many areas of supercomputing, including the MPI Forum, the Open MPI Consortium, and the Graph 500 list.

The formation of CREST was spurred by the recruitment to IU of Professor Thomas Sterling, the father of Beowulf clusters. The architecture of most supercomputers in the world today, including every supercomputer at IU, is based on Prof. Sterling's work. Prof. Sterling is leading a new effort to revolutionize supercomputing yet again - with the new ParalleX execution model.

CREST has begun recruiting new staff, including Dr. Matthew Anderson, who joins CREST from Louisiana State University. Matthew Link and Craig Stewart from IU also have formal roles in CREST.

CREST is affiliated with PTI, the School of Informatics and Computing, the Office of the Vice President for Information Technology, and University Information Technology Services.

We invite you to join us on Thursday for some exciting demonstrations, including demonstrations of energy-aware computing activities, chat with leading computer scientists, and see what we have done to spruce up part of WCC!
