			    Ithaca, NY
		        July 24 - 26, 1990

The Advanced Computing Research Institute (ACRI) of the Cornell Theory Center 
will be offering a three-day workshop on the Trollius programming environment 
for distributed-memory multicomputers.  

Attendees will learn how to program and monitor parallel applications under 
Trollius Release 2.0.  In addition, sessions will be offered on the design of 
the Trollius operating system, on use of special programming tools, and on 
porting Trollius.  Guest speakers from industry will discuss related develop-
ment projects.

Attendees will gain hands-on experience with the ACRI's transputer-based multi-
computers, and will be given an opportunity to work on individual application
programs.  Attendees who are committed to using Trollius for existing projects 
are invited to remain through July 27, for in-depth consulting.

Attendees should have previous experience with UNIX systems, and in programming 
with C or FORTRAN.  Previous experience in parallel programming is not required.

The workshop will begin at 9:00 am on Tuesday, July 24 and end by 4:30 pm on
