The Advanced Computing Research Facility (ACRF) at Argonne National Laboratory
is offering an introductory course on parallel computing December 6-8, 1989.
The date of the course is intended to make it convenient for those attending
the SIAM Conference on Parallel Programming being held the following week in
Chicago (the course is NOT associated with the conference).  The course is
limited to 24 people on a first come first serve basis.

Topics to be covered include:

1) Parallelizing compilers.
2) The Monitor and Schedule packages for portable parallel programming.
3) Programming the Butterfly 2.
4) Programming the AMT DAP.
5) Programming the Connection Machine-2.
6) Introduction to the LAPACK project.

A portion of the third day will be devoted to each attendee's particular
project.  The format of the course is alternating lectures and hands-on
work with the parallel computers in the ACRF.  Fortran will be emphasized
as the primary programming language.  Knowledge of Fortran and Unix will
be assumed.

Parallel computers currently in the ACRF are:

    4-processor Ardent Titan
    8-processor Alliant FX/8
   16-processor Intel iPSC-VX hypercube
   20-processor Encore Multimax
   24-processor Sequent Balance 21000
   32-processor Intel iPSC-1 hypercube
   32-processor Butterfly TC2000
 1024-processor Active Memory Technology DAP
16384-processor Thinking Machines CM-2
