CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

WORKSHOP
ON
PARALLEL IMPLEMENTATION OF LANGUAGES
FOR SYMBOLIC COMPUTATIONS
July 30-31, Eugene
University of Oregon
Parallel Implementations of languages like LISP, Prolog, STRAND, Linda,
and several other are approaching certain maturity. A few systems can
already be considered of production quality, and some are even
commercially available. A lot of excellent results have been obtained in
more or less disjoint communities. The problems attacked and the solutions
obtained by different groups have very much in common, and yet a lot of
effort is duplicated. We intend to bring together researchers from
different ends of the field, in order to share and discuss our results.
Presentations and discussions are invited on the following topics:
- Explicit versus implicit parallelism
- Programming for efficiency
- Data dependency analysis
- Automatic parallelisation
- Grain analysis
- Speculative computations
- Scheduling and load balancing
- Shared- versus distributed-memory implementations
- Memory management
- Performance measurements
- Benchmarks
- "Real" applications
Suggestions for other topics are welcome.
Program Outline
---------------
We plan to start with two or more tutorials to create a common ground for
all participants. That will be followed by presentations, discussions and,
possibly demonstrations (we have access to a Sequent/Symmetry and a
Hypercube). The details of the program will depend on your response.
If you plan to participate please provide the following information:
- name
- e-mail address
- phone number
- title of your presentation/your main interests
- long abstract (by July 1)
to one of the organizers listed below.
The participation in the workshop is free.
No meals, except for coffee and doughnuts, will be provided.
