IPPS'96


The 10th annual International Parallel Processing Symposium (IPPS '96) will be
held April 15-19, 1996 at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii. The
symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on
Parallel Processing and will be held in cooperation with ACM SIGARCH. IPPS '96
is a forum for engineers and scientists from around the world to present the
latest research findings in all aspects of parallel processing. For detailed

HIPS'96


The first annual workshop on High-level Programming Models and Supportive
Environments will be held in conjunction with IPPS'96.


One of the key issues to be discussed for a (commercial) break through in
parallel processing, are efficient high-level programming models. Along this
way, models have been established which are more convenient than explicit
message-passing and allow higher productivity in programming (e.g. HPF and
DSM). In the future, more universal programming models are desirable.


Current implementations of high-level programming models often suffer from low
performance of the generated code, from the lack of high-level programming
tools and their focus on specific application areas. This situation requires
strong research efforts in hardware support, performance optimization
techniques and tools for high-level programming models, integration of
languages, applications, and tools into programming environments, and in the
development of concepts for universal programming models.


This workshop provides a forum for researchers and commercial developers to
meet and discuss the various hardware and software issues involved in the
design and use of high-level programming models and supportive environments.
Papers are invited in areas such as (but not limited to) the following:


      * Implementation techniques for high-level programming models e.g.,
          interfaces to hardware, operating system, run-time system, and compiler.
      * Optimization techniques, e.g., automatic techniques in the compiler.
      * Performance analysis, e.g., high-level analysis tools and interaction of
          performance analysis and program optimization.
      * Hardware concepts supporting high-level programming models, e.g.,
          distributed shared memory.
      * Design concepts and implementation aspects of universal programming
          models.
