We cordially invite you to attend the 15th Annual IEEE Symposium on
High-Performance Interconnects. IEEE Hot Interconnects brings together
architects and designers of high performance chips, software, and
systems at the University and global business levels. Presentations
focus on up-to-the-minute developments demonstrating leading-edge
designs by engineers and researchers throughout the world.

Two days of technical sessions led by John Lockwood and Fabrizio
Petrini, our 2007 General Co-Chairs followed by one day of tutorials to
keep you on top of the latest industry developments and academic
laboratories. Our objective is to address the Networking and
SuperComputing families. This year we are proud to have Ron Brightwell
with Sandia National Laboratories and Dhabaleswar Panda from Ohio State
University as our 2007 IEEE Hot Interconnects Program Co-Chairs. They
are putting together a combined 'HOT' program that includes
interconnects in Supercomputing.
