CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of the PARALLEL COMPUTING Journal on Multiprocessor Performance Evaluation A special issue of Multiprocessor Performance Evaluation is planned for the PARALLEL COMPUTING journal published by North-Holland, Elsevier in April 1996. Along the line of three major evaluation methods: performance measurement, analytic performance modeling and performance simulation, this special issue will cover various topics on quantitative evaluation of multiprocessor architectures and systems. Papaers are solicited on any aspects of multiprocessor performance evaluation. Topic areas include, but not limited to, * Performance evaluation and measurement of multiprocessor architectures * Performance modeling and analysis * Performance metrics * Performance predictions * Performance of memory systems and I/O * Performance implications of multiprocessor systems * Performance improvement through program optimizations * Performance evaluation and simulation tools For submissions to the special issue, manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publications in other journals. Five copies of double-spaced manuscripts should be sent to either of the two guest editors by April 1, 1995. Authors will be notified of the final acceptance/rejection decision by October 1, 1995.
