2nd Conference on Enabling Technologies for Peta(fl)ops Computing

		   Call for Participation and Papers

			 February 15 - 19, 1999

			    Doubletree Hotel
		       Santa Barbara, California

Conference Chair:  		Paul Messina, Caltech
Program Chair:     		Thomas Sterling, Caltech/JPL
Steering Committee Chair:  	Paul H. Smith, DOE

Sponsors:  DARPA, NASA, NSF, DOE, NSA

The 2nd Conference on Enabling Technologies for Peta(fl)ops Computing is
the first major open forum to treat the diversity of technical issues,
opportunities, and challenges related to the achievement of petaflops
scale computing systems. This conference follows a series of in-depth
workshops and sponsored studies conducted to explore the factors that
will determine the ultimate path to realizing such capability and the
means of effectively using it. The purpose of the conference is to
establish a community-wide consensus on the state and understanding of
Petaflops scale computing approaches and determine directions for future
research leading to practical Petaflops performance systems. The four
day conference will involve experts from a broad interdisciplinary
community to provide in-depth coverage of a wide range of issues and
foster detailed discussion across conventional discipline
boundaries. The conference will engage the interests and talents of
participants through a series of invited and submitted papers, posters,
panels, and discussion sessions. Relevant topic areas associated with
petaflops scale computing and beyond include but are not limited to:

        Advanced device technologies
	Ultra-scale system architecture
	Scalable system software
	Parallel and latency-tolerant algorithms
	Large-scale applications
	Exotic methodologies (e.g. quantum, nano, molecular technologies)


Submission of Papers, Posters
	Extended Abstracts of approximately five pages are
        to be submitted to pflops2@cacr.caltech.edu in postscript no
	later than November 20, 1998. One page abstracts describing
        proposed poster presentations are to be submitted to
        pflops2@cacr.caltech.edu in text format by December 15,
        1998. Full presentations may be also be represented as posters.
        Notification of acceptance will provided by email on January 5,
        1999. A proceedings of the extended abstracts will be published.
	All questions related to conference participation or paper
        submission may be directed to pflops2@cacr.caltech.edu.
