Call for Papers _______________ Special Issue of the -------------------- Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing --------------------------------------------- on -- Compilation Techniques for Distributed Memory Systems ----------------------------------------------------- Papers are solicited for a special issue of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC) on `Compilation Techniques for Distributed Memory Systems' to be published in August 1996. The objective of this special issue is to provide for an archival forum to report new, original research findings related to the theory and practice behind compiling for distributed memory systems. The special issue will help to investigate the inter-relationships between different aspects and identify the future directions and the research focus in the next decade in this field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: -- Exact dependence analysis/dataflow techniques -- Data distribution techniques and data locality -- Data and code based program partitioning -- Computation/Communication tradeoffs -- Communication and data movement optimizations -- Loop transformations -- Run time systems -- Compiling interprocedural functional parallelism -- Compiling data parallel languages (such as High Performance Fortran) -- Language design issues -- Architecture specific optimizations Authors should follow the JPDC manuscript format described in the `Information for Authors' at the end of each issue of JPDC. Five copies of complete double-spaced manuscript should be sent to either of the co-guest editors by October 9, 1995. Authors will be notified of the final publication decision by February 1, 1996. The manuscripts must demonstrate original, unpublished work. Co-Guest Editors ________________ Prof. Dharma P.
