The Advanced Computing Research Facility (ACRF) at Argonne National Laboratory
is offering an introductory course on parallel computing December 5-7, 1990.
The course is intended to familiarize potential users with the ACRF
multiprocessors and parallel programming in general.  The course is limited to
22 people on a first come first serve basis.

Topics to be covered include:

1) Parallelizing compilers.
2) The Monitor package for portable parallel programming.
3) Programming the BBN TC2000.
4) Programming the Intel iPSC/860.
4) Programming the AMT DAP.
5) Programming the TMC Connection Machine-2.
6) Introduction to the LAPACK project.
5) The STRAND programming language.

The format of the course is alternating lectures and hands-on work with the
parallel computers in the ACRF.  All examples will use the Fortran programming
language.  Knowledge of Fortran and Unix will be assumed.  Attendees can
work on either class exercises or their own particular projects.

Parallel computers currently in the ACRF are:

    4-processor Ardent Titan
    8-processor Alliant FX/8
    8-processor Intel iPSC/860 hypercube
   20-processor Encore Multimax
   26-processor Sequent Symmetry
   45-processor BBN TC2000
 1024-processor Active Memory Technology DAP
16384-processor Thinking Machines CM-2
