                             First Workshop on
                Parallel Computing for Irregular Applications

                                      10 January 1999

                 To be held in conjunction with HPCA-5
<http://trantor.cse.psu.edu/hpca5/>


                 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

                 Several types of irregularity need to be mastered in
                 order to execute efficiently large scale application=
s:

                    * Irregularity of the algorithms, which stems fro=
m
                      the complexity of data dependencies, leading to
                      unpredictable computation schemes (precedence t=
ask
                      graph, data transfers).
                    * Irregularity of the target hardware systems,
                      because of the variety of the available paralle=
l
                      computers and of the emergence of heterogeneous
                      parallel systems such as networks of workstatio=
ns
                      connected by high speed networks and used for
                      intensive computations.

                 The aim of this workshop is to give an opportunity t=
o
                 researchers to present work in progress in the area =
of
                 runtime systems and compiling techniques to execute
                 efficiently parallel irregular applications. Topics =
of
                 interest include, but are not limited to:

                    * Parallel programming languages for irregular
                      applications.
                    * Runtime systems to cope with irregularity.
                    * Multithreaded environments and high-speed netwo=
rks.
                    * Online scheduling.
                    * Shared data structures.
                    * Compilation techniques for irregular data
                      structures.

                 INTENDED AUDIENCE

                    * Researchers interested in one of the areas rela=
ted
                      to efficient execution of parallel irregular
                      applications.
                    * Developers of time demanding applications.
                    * Designers of high performance computer
                      architectures.
