摘要

The Asian Technology Information Program (ATIP) will soon begin its fourteenth year of operations throughout Asia. ATIP is recognized as a premier source of information on Asia's most important scientific and technological trends and developments. ATIP covers a broad set of S&T topics across the Asian region, and is particularly experienced in reporting on High Performance Computing (HPC). ATIP provides timely information on Asian HPC initiatives and accomplishments and has published more than 400 reports on HPC in Asia. ATIP maintains offices and/or operations throughout the Asian region, including an office in Beijing China, and is an established activity in the Asian S&T community. HPC is a topic of particular importance in Asia, and specifically in China. ATIP has reported on China's HPC activities for more than a decade and is well known throughout the Chinese S&T community. ATIP conducted two highly successful China HPC Workshops in conjunction with the Supercomputing Conference in 2003 and in 2005. The primary goals of the HPC Workshops are to enhance Western understanding of developments in China and to foster collaborations between Chinese and Western research communities.

With support from the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) ATIP's held it's 3rd Chinese HPC Workshop, "High Performance Computing in China: Solution Approaches to Impediments for High Performance Computing," in conjunction with the Supercomputing 2007 Conference and Exhibition (SC07) held in Reno, Nevada (US) from November 11-16, 2007. Additional corporate and government sponsors of the workshop included the US Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG), Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, SGI, Clearspeed, IDC, Dawning, and Shanghai Supercomputer Center. Participants of the 3rd HPC Workshop were given the opportunity to have detailed discussions with key members of the international HPC community.
