The University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies is 
sponsoring a one day workshop entitled:

		Massively Parallel Computing - 
	Applications, Algorithms, and Architectures  

The University of Maryland has an active program of research in many 
aspects of massively parallel computing; much of this research is 
experimental in nature, with the experiments being conducted on the campus's 
16K processor Connection Machine II.  This machine was provided to the campus
by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and is used not only 
by University researchers, but also by scientists and engineers from 
government, industry and other universities.  The purpose of the workshop 
is to bring these people together, along with representatives from other 
organizations that have strong interests in parallel processing.

The workshop will consist of short talks from current users of the machine, 
along with presentations describing the architecture and software environment 
of the Connection Machine; we also hope to be able to present information 
about some new products to the marketplace that compete with the Connection 
Machine.

The workshop is scheduled for Thursday June 7, 1990 at the College Park Campus
outside Washington, D.C.  This will be a good opportunity for those of us in 
involved in high performance parallel computing to meet and learn from one
another's experience.  We hope that your organization can participate in the
meeting.  

Please let us know by June 4 if you or another representitive of 
your organization plan to attend.  If you would like additional information,
