Dear Colleagues

On behalf of the Centre for High Performance Computing, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to each of you for the enthusiasm, interest and support that you have contributed towards the development of the CHPC. To invite you to participate in the 2010 CHPC National Meeting to be held during the period 7-9 December at the Westin Grand Hotel, Cape Town.

In this year's event, I trust you will find an exciting programme that covers an array of important topics. This event aims to highlight the development of the CHPC within the national cyberinfrastructure intervention supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The importance of the cyberinfrastructure will also be illustrated through a selective successful research projects from different local and international reputable institutions. Furthermore, the CHPC will make use of this event to cultivate dialogues that are aimed at enhancing our service delivery and strengthening an integrated partnership amongst local and international stakeholders. It is hoped that through the three-day interactive workshop, we can fully explore how the research communities can take maximum advantage of this sizeable investment. I therefore encourage you to participate in this meeting, to share your knowledge, voice your opinions and provide your support in pursuit of harnessing a vibrant ecosystem in the context of DST's cyberinfrastructure intervention.

I look forward to seeing you.

Dr. Happy Sithole
