THE DARTMOUTH INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARALLEL COMPUTATION ANNOUNCEMENT -- SUMMER INSTITUTE Parallel Computation and Problem Solving Environments SPONSORED BY THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION July 5 -- July 10, 1994 Hanover, New Hampshire This summer, Dartmouth will hold its third DAGS institute to promote the use of high-performance computing. The first was in 1992, when it was established with the support of the NSF and Dartmouth College in order to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia and industry. This year, the institute will again be supported by the NSF and will be in two parts: a symposium (July 5-7) of invited and contributed talks and a series of tutorials (July 8-10) focused on parallel programming environments. The informal and beautiful setting of Dartmouth in the summer is a good working environment which promotes discussions and new interactions among all participants. Housing will be available at economical rates in college dormitories, near to conference sessions and centrally located on the Dartmouth campus. Early registration is strongly encouraged. Registrations made after June 17 or on-site have a higher registration fee. The following section is a summary of the talks and workshops to be presented in the symposium and school. A complete program for both the symposium and the school, as well as registration forms for the symposium, the school, and on-campus housing are appended below. July 5-7: SYMPOSIUM ON PARALLEL COMPUTATION AND PROBLEM SOLVING ENVIRONMENTS: Providing Massively Parallel Computing to Problem Solvers. Registration begins on the afternoon of July 5 and talks begin in the evening. Invited speakers include Elias Houstis (Purdue University, "PDELab: A Problem Solving Environment for PDE based Applications on Parallel Machines"), Elaine Kant (Schlumberger Austin Research, "Program Synthesis for Mathematical Modeling Applications") Constantine Polychronopoulos (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, "Symbolic Analysis: A Powerful Tool for Program Analysis and Optimization"), and John Reif ("Predictive Computing: An Emerging Paradigm for Efficient Computation"). Papers will also be presented by Edmond Chow (U. of Minnesota, "Tools and Libraries for Parallel Sparse Matrix Computations"), Luiz A. DeRose (U. of Illinois, "An Environment for the Rapid Prototyping and Development of Numerical Programs and Libraries for Scientific Computation"), Julian Dolby (U. of Illinois, "The Illinois Concert System: Programming Support for Irregular Parallel Applications"), Mark Minas (International Computer Science Institute, "Cyclic Debugging for pSather, a Parallel Object-Oriented Programming Language"), Isidore Rigoutsos (IBM T.J. Watson, "dFLASH: A Distributed Fast Look-Up Algorithm for String Homology"), Elisha Sacks (Princeton, "Mechanism Design and Analysis Using Configuration Spaces"), Darren Erik Vengroff (Duke, "A Transparent Parallel I/O Environment"), and Feng Zhao (Ohio State, "The Control Engineer's Workbench: An Intelligent Problem-Solving Environment for Simulating Complex Dynamical Systems"). July 8-10: SCHOOL ON PARALLEL PROGRAMMING ENVIRONMENTS The school will include tutorials on pattern matching by I. Rigoutsos and A. Califano, parallelism and interconnection networks by P. Metaxas, virtual memory by T. Cormen, parallel programming using C* by M. Quinn, parallel graph algorithms by C. Stein, parallel complexity and approximation by B.
