We cordially invite you to attend SC07 Birds of a Feather
"Petascale System Interconnect Project".

Petascale System Interconnect (PSI) project is one of Japanese national
projects on "Fundamental Technologies for the Next Generation
Supercomputing". The project started in 2005. The goal of PSI project is to
develop technologies enabling petascale supercomputing systems with hundreds
of thousands of computing nodes. To achieve ten times higher
cost/performance ratio, the project tackles with the following three
fundamental technologies: (1) small and efficient optical packet switches,
(2) low-cost, high-performance MPI communications, and (3) methodologies for
evaluating and estimating the performance of petascale systems.

The purpose of this BOF is to present what PSI project obtained for these
fundamental technologies in last three years and discuss the application of
these results to petascale computing.
