Belfast is set to play host to an international computing conference, with the IEEE International Symposium on Performance Analysis of Systems and Software (ISPASS) in April.

Queen’s University Belfast will be the venue for the event, which attracts world-class researchers from all over the world. The conference is a forum for sharing advanced academic and industrial work focused on performance analysis of computer systems and software.

Among the themes it will explore are datacentres, power and energy efficiency of computing systems, graphics processors, and emerging big data workloads.

A second conference, the IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing will be held in September. This event will look at scalable computing, with researchers sharing recent accomplishments and technological developments in the fields of cluster and cloud computing for scientific and commercial applications.
