The Workshop will consist of lectures by leading ex- perts in parallel computation and laboratory work on local memory and shared memory multiprocessors. The tentative list of speakers includes Jim Browne (U. Texas), Oliver McBryan (Courant Insti- tute), James McGraw (Livermore), Cleve Moler (Intel), Danny Sorensen (Argonne), David Waltz (Thinking Machines), Harry Jordan (U. Colorado), Gary Nutt (U. Colorado), Bobby Schnabel (U. Colorado). Lectures will cover a broad range of topics including languages, architectures, numerical and non-numerical applica- tions. The Workshop is intended for graduate students and recent PhD's in computer science as well as a smaller number of espe- cially promising undergraduate students. It is expected that these participants will bring with them a project to be worked on during the laboratory sessions. Participants may receive a stipend of approximately $500, the ex- act amount depending on the estimated costs of the workshop to the participant and his or her need for support. The selection of participants will depend on the following criteria: brief state- ment of research activities and interests; two letters of recom- mendation; transcript of grades; and, description of parallel computation project for the Workshop. It is anticipated that this workshop will be supported in part by the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing of the National Sci- ence Foundation.
