Dear Colleagues

The Centre for High Performance Computing (CHPC) has the pleasure of inviting you to the 2011 National CHPC Conference to be held in Pretoria this year. We look forward to meeting with all our industry role-players and sharing new ideas and innovations in our industry. We 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 that is supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). The importance of cyberinfrastructure will also be illustrated through a selection of successful research projects from different local and internationally 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 our hope that through the three-day interactive workshop, we can fully explore how 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.

We look forward to seeing you in Pretoria!

Dr. Happy Sithole
Director of CHPC
