=============================================================================

Opening remarks : Santosh Pande, J. Ramanujam and Yves Robert : 8:30 am

Session I : Communication Analysis and Optimization (8:30 am
to 10:00 am):
The theme of this session
is to address the crucial problem of 
analyzing and optimizing communication through interprocedural dataflow analysis
or loop iteration and data space partitioning using linear algebra.
 
1. Rajiv Gupta, University of Pittsburgh, ``Demand Driven Dataflow
Analysis for Communication Optimizations''
2. Yves Robert, LIP, ENS-Lyon, ``Optimizing Residual Communication through 
Aggregation''
3. Panel discussion of speakers and question/answers.

Coffee Break : 10:00 am to 10:30 am.

Session II : Data layout (10:30 am to 12:00 noon) : Efficient
data layouts are essential elements of exploiting data parallelism.
This session presents static and dynamic techniques for automatic
data partitioning and layout.
 
1. Uli Kremer, Rutgers, ``Automatic Data Layout using 0-1
Integer Programming'' 
2. Prithviraj Banerjee andi D. Palermo, Northwestern, ``Dynamic Data
Partitioning in Distributed Memory Multicomputers''
3. Panel discussion of speakers and question/answers.

Lunch Break : 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm

Session III : Granularity and Tiling (1:00 pm to 3:30 pm):
The importance of tiling is
increasing, as programming distributed memory machines require a large grain
size to be efficient. The link with fully permutable loop nests is also
important.

1. Alain Darte, ENS Lyon, France, ``Tiling Fully Permutable Loop Nests''
2. J. Ramanujam, Louisiana State University, ``Tiling for Locality''. 
3. Boleslaw  Szymanski, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, ``Loop
Tiling for Parallel Execution''
4. Jingling Xue, University of New England, Australia, ``Time-optimal
Tiling of Uniform Dependence Loops''
5. Panel discussion of speakers and question/answers.

Coffee break : 3:30 pm to 4:00 pm

Session IV : Languages and Systems (4:00 pm to 5:15 pm):
Recent language/system efforts
focus on efficiently supporting data and task parallelism aiming for
a high degree of automating the  compilation process. This session seeks
to focus on such specific efforts and their impact on future research. 

1. Rob Schreiber, HP Labs, "HPF 2.0"
2. David Padua and Y. Paek, UIUC, "Compiling for Scalable Multiprocessors
with Polaris"
3. Panel discussion of speakers and question/answers.
