2nd Workshop on Solving Irregular Problems on Distributed Memory Machines -------------------------------------- Workshop Chair Sanjay Ranka, Florida Program Committee - Prith Banerjee, Illinois - Geoffrey Fox, Syracuse - Apostolos Gerasoulis, Rutgers - Vipin Kumar, Minnesota - Viktor K. Prasanna, Southern California - Jose Rolim, Geneva - Ponnuswamy Sadayappan, Ohio State - Sartaj Sahni, Florida - Kathy Yelick, Berkeley - Tao Yang, Santa Barbara ------------------------------------------------- This is the second year of this workshop. This workshop will focus on architectures, algorithms, programming models, and languages for efficiently solving large irregular problems on parallel machines with distributed memory. These include machines with and without hardware support for multithreading, message passing, and shared memory. The workshop will feature invited papers, contributed papers and panel sessions in an informal setting. Proceedings of the first workshop is available at http://www.cis.ufl.edu/~ranka. The workshop is sponsored by the IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing. For further information, please contact: Sanjay Ranka, Department of CISE, E301 CSE Bldg, University of Florida, Fl 32611, USA; Email: ranka@cis.ufl.edu. To submit a paper for consideration, please send six copies to Sanjay Ranka by Jan. 31, 1996. The final camera ready manuscripts are due Mar 20., 1996. Electronic submissions (postscript versions) are encouraged. Second Workshop on Solving Irregular Problems on Distributed Memory Machines Call for Participation April 15-19, 1996 Parallel computing has been shown to be successful for the solution of a wide variety of structured and regular applications. However, research in parallelization of many irregular applications is still in its infancy. Examples of irregular applications include parallel search techniques, discrete event simulation, sparse matrix problems, unstructured and adaptive PDE solvers, particle dynamics problems, computer vision, and CAD VLSI. Many currently supported industrial and scientific grand challenge applications fall into this category. This workshop will focus on architectures, algorithms, programming models, and languages for efficiently solving large irregular problems on parallel machines with distributed memory. These include machines with and without hardware support for multithreading, message passing, and shared memory. The workshop will feature invited papers, contributed papers and panel sessions in an informal setting. To submit a paper for consideration, send six copies of the manuscript to Sanjay Ranka, Department of CISE, E301 CSE Bldg, University of Florida, Fl 32611, USA; Email: ranka@cis.ufl.edu. Electronic submissions (postscript versions) are encouraged. To guarantee consideration, manuscripts must be received by Jan. 31, 1996, and must be no more than 12 pages. A hard copy of the proceedings will be available at the workshop. Proceedings of the first workshop is available at http://www.cis.ufl.edu/~ranka. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the International Parallel Processing Symposium to be held from April 15 through 19, 1996 at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii. Hawaii is an American treasure - an island delight with all the amenities of an international meeting place.
