WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27


Tutorial 1
9:00AM-1:00PM


Compiling for High Performance Architectures


J. Ramanujam, Louisiana State University


Who Should Attend: Researchers in high performance computing, graduate
students, application developers. This is not a tutorial on HPF but on
principles of compiling languages like HPF. The intended level of
presentation is 30% beginner, 50% intermediate and 20% advanced, and
familiarity with fundamental issues in parallel computing is assumed.


Course Description: The chief impediment to widespread application of
highly parallel computing is the extreme difficulty of writing application
code that is correct and efficient. This applies equally to writing new code
or conversion of existing code. Memory locality, memory latency,
parallelism and interprocessor communication interact in complex ways,
making it very difficult to achieve good performance. For high-performance
computing to be successful, significant advances in programming tools,
especially, compilers and runtime systems are critical. Several ongoing
research projects (at Rice, Stanford, Syracuse and Vienna among other
places) are aimed at a compilation system that uses data distribution
information provided by the user to derive efficient parallel code. High
Performance Fortran (HPF) is an informal industry standard (embraced by
several vendors) which supports data parallel programming (through the
FORALL construct and several new parallel intrinsic and library functions)
and good performance on Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) multiprocessors
(through data mapping directives).


This tutorial is designed to cover issues that are central to compiler and
runtime optimizations of scientific codes written in languages like HPF for
distributed memory and massively parallel machines. Specifically, this
tutorial will address three main issues -- (1) general principles, analysis
and optimization for parallel machines; (2) specify issues and
optimizations related to compiling programs portable on many distributed
memory machines such as the Intel Paragon, IBM SP2, Cray T3D, and Network
of Workstations; and (3) the required runtime support, and optimizations
for such compilers.


Lecturer: J. Ramanujam received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from
the Ohio State University in 1990. He is currently an Associate Professor
in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Louisiana State
University, Baton Rouge. He is a recipient of an NSF Young Investigator
Award in 1994. His research interests are in the area of parallelizing
compilers, operating systems and programming environments for parallel
computing, and computer architecture.


Tutorial 2
9:00AM-1:00PM


Large Scale Scientific Computing


S. Lakshmivarahan,
University of Oklahoma


Who Should Attend: This tutorial must be of interest to scientists,
engineers, in the National Laboratories, and industries, as well as
educators, and graduate students who are interested in understanding the
basic principles and challenges in the new and emerging discipline of
scientific computing arising out of the interaction between algorithms,
architectures, and applications.


Course Description: Large Scale Scientific Computing lies squarely at the
intersection of several evolving and well established disciplines -
architecture of parallel and vector computers, parallel algorithms for
matrix problems, technology of vectorizing compilers and mathematical
software that exploits the algorithm-architecture combination. Our aim in
this tutorial is to provide a survey of the state of the art of several
well understood principles and techniques in this area.


AN OVERVIEW OF PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES: shared memory vs distributed
memory machines, SIMD vs MIMD paradigm, memory hierarchy, vector
registers, cache and main memory. A review of commercially available
machines.
PERFORMANCE MEASURES: speedup, efficiency, redundancy,
utilization factor, and the degree of parallelism. Amdahl's law and
its variations, parallel complexity class, associative fan-in
algorithm.


PARALLEL PROGRAMMING: An overview of PVM, Fortran90, High Performance
Fortran. A REVIEW OF MATRIX ALGEBRA: An overview of basic matrix-vector
operations. The role of BLAS-1,2, and 3 routines. MATRICIES IN SCIENTIFIC
COMPUTATION: Discretization of partial differential equations, the notion
of stencils, Order of error in approximation of space and time derivatives,
boundary conditions, the notion of colored grid-red-black coloring and
multi-colored grid. PARALLEL METHODS FOR SOLVING STRUCTURED SPARSE LINEAR
SYSTEMS: The method of cyclic reduction and cyclic elimination applied to
bidiagonal, tridiagonal and block tri-diagonal systems, LU and
Cholesky decomposition, domain decomposition. APPLICATIONS: An overview of
the application of parallelism to certain meteorological problem
especially the one dealing data assimilation scheme using the variational
adjoint method.


Lecturer: Lakshmivarahan is presently the George Lynn Cross Research
Professor at the University of Oklahoma. His research interests include
interconnection networks, parallel algorithms and their applications. He
has offered short courses/tutorials in Canada, Germany, India, Mexico,
Taiwan and USA. He obtained his PhD from the Indian Institute of Science
in 1973 and has held postdoctoral/faculty positions at the IIT Madras,
Brown university and Yale university. He is a Fellow of IEEE and ACM. He
is the author/coauthor of three books relating to parallel computing,
learning algorithms, and their applications.


Tutorial 3
2:00PM-6:00PM


Code Optimization in Modern Compilers


Krishna V. Palem, New York University
Vivek Sarkar; IBM Santa Teresa Labs.


Who Should Attend: The tutorial is relevant to systems programmers and
analysts, scientific programmers, computer designers, technical managers,
mathematics and computer science teachers, or anyone facing the prospect
of building, modifying, maintaining, writing or teaching about compilers.
At the conclusion of the tutorial, the attendees should be knowledgeable
about several modern optimization techniques used in compilers, from the
viewpoint of the compiler user as well as of the compiler designer.


Course Description: The primary goal of this tutorial is to provide an
in-depth study of state-of-the-art code optimization techniques used in
compilers for modern processors. The performance gap between optimized and
unoptimized code continues to widen as modern processors evolve. This
evolution includes hardware features such as superscalar and pipelined
functional units for exploiting instruction-level parallelism, and
sophisticated memory hierarchies for exploiting data locality. These
hardware features are aimed at yielding high performance, and are
critically dependent on the code being optimized appropriately to take
advantage of them. Rather than burdening the programmer with this
additional complexity during code development, modern compilers offer
automatic support for code optimization.


The tutorial is self-contained and begins with a detailed view of the
design of optimizing compilers. The rationale guiding the important
decisions underlying the design will be discussed. A typical optimizing
compiler contains a sequence a restructuring and code optimization
techniques. A selected collection of state-of-the-art optimizations and
their interactions will be discussed.


The optimizations covered are most relevant for RISC processors, such as
the IBM RS/6000, PowerPC, DEC Alpha, Sun Sparc, HP PA-RISC, and MIPS, and
third-generation programming languages such as Fortran and C.


The summary of topics is as follows: Structure of optimizing compilers,
Loop transformations, Instruction scheduling for pipelined and superscalar
processors, Register allocation, Overview of optimizing compiler systems
from industry.


Lecturers: Krishna V. Palem has been on the faculty of the Courant Institute
of Mathematical Sciences, NYU, since September 1994. Prior to this, he has
been a research staff member at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Centre since
1986, and an advanced technology consultant on compiler optimizations at
the IBM Santa Teresa Laboratory since 1993. He is an expert in the area of
compilation and optimization for superscalar and parallel machines and has
been invited to teach short courses and lecture internationally, on these
subjects.


Vivek Sarkar is a Senior Technical Staff Member at the IBM Santa Teresa
Laboratory, and is also manager of the Application Development Technology
Institute (ADTI). He joined IBM in 1987, after obtaining a Ph.D. from
Stanford. His research interests are in the areas of program
optimizations, loop transformations, partitioning, scheduling,
multiprocessor parallelism, cache locality, instruction parallelism, and
register allocation. He is the author of several papers in the areas of
program optimization and compiling for parallelism, as well as the book
titled Partitioning and Scheduling Parallel Programs for Multiprocessor Execution.


Tutorial 4
2:00PM-6:00PM


Concurrent Computing with PVM and MPI


Vaidy Sunderam, Emory University
D. N. Jayasimha, Ohio State University


Who Should Attend: The tutorial is intended for scientists and engineers
(including graduate students) who wish to learn message passing
programming and PVM to parallelize their applications. The tutorial
assumes knowledge of FORTRAN or C, some programming experience, and
rudimentary knowledge of Unix.


Course Description: Concurrent computing, based on explicit parallelism and
the message passing paradigm, is emerging as the methodology of choice for
high performance computing. PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a software
system for concurrent computing on multiple heterogeneous platforms,
including clusters and networks of workstations. This tutorial will
describe the PVM system, and explain aspects relating to (a) principles of
message-passing programming and network computing; (b) application
programming using the PVM API; (c) obtaining, installing and operating the
PVM software; (d) advanced topics including efficiency, profiling, and
other tools. In addition to PVM, the tutorial will also discuss the new MPI
standard, highlight similarities and differences between PVM and MPI, and
outline potential transition paths.


Lecturers: Vaidy Sunderam is a faculty member in the Department of Math &
Computer Science at Emory University, Atlanta, USA. His research interests
are in parallel and distributed processing, with a focus on
high-performance concurrent computing in heterogeneous networked
environments. He is the original architect of the PVM system for network
based concurrent computing, and co-principal investigator of the Eclipse
research project, a second generation system for high performance
distributed supercomputing. His other research interests include
distributed and parallel I/O and data management, communications protocols,
parallel processing tools, and collaborative concurrent computing systems.
He is the recipient of several awards and research grants, has authored
numerous articles on parallel and distributed computing, and is a member
of ACM and IEEE.


D. N. Jayasimha obtained his Ph.D. from the Centre for Supercomputing
Research and Development, University of Illinois in 1988. He has been on
the faculty at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio since then.
During 1993-94, he was a Visiting Senior Research Associate at the NASA
Lewis Research Centre, Cleveland, OH where he worked on parallelizing
applications using PVM and other message passing libraries. He has offered
tutorials on message passing and PVM at the Ohio Aerospace Institute and
NASA, and at 1994 International Workshop on Parallel Processing. His
research interests are in the areas of communication and synchronization in
parallel computation, parallel architectures, and parallel applications.

The past decade has seen an extensive activity in the field of parallel
computing. Many national and international efforts have been funded on a
large scale with the promise that the tera-flop (and potentially peta-flop)
computing power offered by parallel computers will open new frontiers in
applications of computers, and will fundamentally change the methods for
design and manufacturing used in a variety of industries. Most notably,
the HPCC program in the USA, and related programs in Europe and many Asian
countries were launched to accelerate research in parallel computing. How
far have we come along in these 10 years in delivering on the promises?
How come parallel computing is still done primarily in research labs, and
remains at the fringe of computing. What are the major hurdles to be
crossed before parallel computing will make a major impact on
the computing scene? How does the imminent availability of national and
international information superhighways change the role parallel computing
will play in the next decade?


This panel will address the extent to which HPCC has delivered on its
promises, and the advances needed to face the computing challenges of the
next decade and beyond.

About Delhi:
New Delhi, the venue of HiPC '95, is India's capital. It is in
north-central India on the banks of the Yamuna river, the chief
tributary of the Ganges. Delhi, comprising of New Delhi and Old
Delhi, is a bustling metropolis of nine million people. Delhi has
been the capital to a succession of mighty empires, including the
Moghuls. It is home to a number of historical monuments such as Qutab
Minar, Red Fort, and Jantar-Mantar. Other places of interest in Delhi
are the Parliament Building, and shopping centres such as Connaught
Place and Chandni Chowk. Agra, site of the Taj Mahal, and the
historical ruins of Fatehpur Sikri are close and can be visited on a
day long conducted tour from Delhi.


Further information on Delhi can be found through the Web at the URL,
