¿Qué es HP-CAST?¿Qué es HP-CAST?

The Hewlett-Packard Consortium for Advanced Scientific and Technical Computing Users Group will work to increase the capabilities of large-scale, parallel scientific and technical computing, to promote the exchange of information and understanding of these systems, and to provide guidance to HP on the essential development and support issues for large-scale technical systems.

Background InformationBackground Information

HP-CAST is the result of the agreement made in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on the 20th of March of 2003 to merge three Users Groups:

1. The Compaq Alpha Scientific and Technical Users Group (CAST), created at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in the Fall of 2000 by:• CEA/DAM.• Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.• Los Alamos National Laboratory.• Oak Ridge National Laboratory.• Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center.• Sandia National Laboratory.• Wright Patterson Air Force Base/ASC.

2. The US’s High Performance Computing User Group (HPCUG), created at Dallas, Texas, in the Spring of 1994.

3. The Hewlett-Packard’s High Performance Computing European User Group (HP2EUG), created at Krakow, Poland, on the 20th of October, 1994.

Article 1. Article 1. HP-CAST MembershipHP-CAST Membership

1. Membership in HP-CAST is by institution. A multi-site institution is represented as a single HP-CAST member.

2. Each HP-CAST member institution has a single vote on all HP-CAST activities and motions.

3. HP-CAST members must have a signed and current non-disclosure agreement with HP.

4. Applying institutions are required to either have a large system, or have entered into a contract to have a large system delivered to their site within one year.

5. To retain active status as a HP-CAST member site, institutions must maintain a large system configuration. The size of the configuration must not drop below that required to be considered for initial membership. If the system configuration changes significantly at any member institution, that institution's status as an active member will be reviewed and reconsidered by a vote of the remaining HP-CAST membership. If the result of the remaining HP-CAST membership vote is to remove a specified site from HP-CAST, then that institution shall be removed from membership roles and will not be permitted to attend HP-CAST meetings and participate in HP-CAST discussions. Organizations that are removed as member institutions shall be reconsidered for future membership at which time they again meet membership criteria and apply to join HP-CAST.

6. A member institution may remove itself from HP-CAST by request of the site representative to the HP-CAST Secretary.

Article 2. AffiliatesArticle 2. Affiliates

1. An affiliate is an institution that is providing solutions to enhance HP-CAST members use of systems for scientific and technical computing, but is not a member of HP-CAST or does not otherwise qualify for membership.

2. Hewlett-Packard (HP) is an affiliate of HP-CAST, not a voting member institution.

3. HP-CAST affiliates must also have a signed and current non-disclosure agreement with HP.

4. An affiliate institution may remove itself from HP-CAST by request of its representative to the HP-CAST Secretary.
