In less than a decade, commodity clusters have become mainstream
and cost-effective computing platforms for executing a wide range of
computation-, data-, and transaction-oriented parallel applications. In
spite of countless deployed platforms and resounding application
successes, many research and development challenges remain for achieving
higher performance, scalability, and usability. The IEEE TFCC Cluster
2004 conference, to be held in beautiful San Diego, provides an open =
forum
for researchers, practitioners, and users to present and discuss issues,
directions, and results that will shape the future of cluster computing.
=20
