Symp. on High Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA-5) Orlando, Florida, January 9, 1999 http://www.cse.psu.edu/~canpc99 **************************************************************************** THEME ===== Clusters of workstations/PCs connected by off-the-shelf networks have become popular as a platform for cost-effective parallel computing. Hardware and software technological advances have made this network-based parallel computing platform feasible. A large number of research groups from academia and industry are working to enhance the capabilities of such a platform, thereby improving its cost-effectiveness and usability. These developments are facilitating the migration of many existing applications as well as the development of new applications on this platform. Continuing in the tradition of the two previously successful CANPC workshops, this workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners working in architecture, system software, applications and performance evaluation to discuss state-of-the-art solutions for network-based parallel computing systems. REGISTRATION ============ Advance On-Site IEEE 60 72 Non-IEEE 75 90 Students 40 50 Advance registration deadline is DECEMBER 9, 1998.
