Argonne National Laboratory has set up the Advanced Computing Research
Facility (ACRF) for the study of parallel computing.  To encourage the
use of the ACRF,  Argonne offers classes on parallel computing to
familiarize potential users with the ACRF multiprocessors and parallel
programming in general.  The next class will be held May 3-5, 1989.
Topics to be covered include:

1) Parallelizing compilers.
2) The Monitor and Schedule packages for portable parallel programming.
3) Hypercube programming.
4) DAP Programming.
5) Connection Machine Programming.

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.  At its completion participants
will have written and run programs on each machine, and should be familiar
with the ACRF environment.  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 hypercube
 1024-processor Active Memory Technology DAP
16384-processor Thinking Machines CM-2
