Registration Open for Gelato ICE: Itanium® Conference & Expo 2006

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (February 15, 2006)--The Gelato Federation
(<http://www.gelato.org>) announced today the opening of registration
for the Gelato ICE: Itanium® Conference & Expo to be held on April
23-26, 2006 in San Jose, California, USA. Gelato ICE is the world's
only conference dedicated specifically to Linux® on the Intel® Itanium
architecture. The conference will be hosted by the Gelato Federation
and sponsored by HP, Intel, and Itanium Solutions Alliance. Space is
limited. An Early Bird discount is in effect until March 25,
2006. Registration information is available at
<http://www.gelato.org/meeting>.

Gelato ICE is the conference for technical users, application and tool
developers, system researchers and vendors, and ISVs looking to extend
the impact of Linux on Itanium architecture. The event will address
current high-performance computing issues and collaborative solutions
specific to Linux on the Itanium processor, and will feature
presentations, poster sessions, and the exchange of information in
formal and informal settings. Attendees can network with key
researchers, system vendors, industrial users, and ISVs. Participants
will learn how to maximize the performance of their systems and
discover which tools to use and how to use them.

"We are looking forward to this being our best conference to date with
outstanding speakers from a variety of Itanium community participants
as well as record attendance. The depth and breath of the technical
program are impressive," stated Mark K. Smith, Gelato managing
director. "We are also very excited about partnering with the Itanium
Solutions Alliance on the collocated Developer Days event that
immediately follows Gelato ICE."

Gelato ICE 2006 will feature three full days and 40+ technical
presentations spotlighting Linux on Itanium-based
platforms. Presenters will include international experts working on
this architecture and speaking on topics such as: virtualization,
scalability, compilers, and memory management. New for Gelato ICE 2006
are an exhibition area and a program track targeting corporate
developers and IT decision makers. An expanded technical program will
include enterprise-specific topics like database/data mining and
hardware reliability.

Also new for Gelato ICE 2006 is integrated technical content to
complement the collocated Itanium Solutions Alliance Developer Days to
be held on April 26-28. Developer Days are Alliance-organized events
established to facilitate porting of targeted applications to Itanium
platforms. Software developers receive training, technical assistance,
and industry-leading tools from Alliance Founding Sponsors and
members. Registration for Developer Days is separate from Gelato ICE
registration. Space at Developer Days is limited and available on a
first-come, first-served basis. Details can be found at
<http://www.itaniumsolutionsalliance.org/events/developer_days/>.

"The Itanium Solutions Alliance is thrilled to be collaborating with
Gelato at the Gelato ICE 2006 and Alliance Developer Days events,"
said Bruce Toal, director of marketing and solutions for Hewlett
Packard's High Performance Computing Division. "The combined knowledge
and resources of these two industry-leading groups ensures that
attendees of both events will receive the best training and
information on Linux on Itanium architecture available."

The week-long combination--Gelato ICE 2006 and the collocated Itanium
Solutions Alliance Developer Days--will be the year's highpoint for
those wanting to learn more about using and developing Linux on
Itanium architecture. Anyone working with this platform-or thinking
about working with the platform-should attend.
