From: Jacques Chassin-de-Kergommeaux Newsgroups: comp.parallel Subject: Special Issue Parallel Computing journal Date: 28 Apr 1999 15:27:01 GMT Organization: Projet APACHE, LMC-IMAG Approved: bigrigg@cs.cmu.edu Message-Id: <7g79c5$48c$1@goldenapple.srv.cs.cmu.edu> Originator: bigrigg@ux6.sp.cs.cmu.edu Xref: ukc comp.parallel:15535 ********************************************************************** * CFP Parallel Computing, Special Issue on ``Parallel Computing for * Irregular Applications'' ********************************************************************** Objectives and Scope ==================== Several types of irregularity need to be mastered in order to execute efficiently large scale applications: - Irregularity of the algorithms, which stems from the complexity of data dependencies, leading to unpredictable computation schemes (precedence task graph, data transfers). - Irregularity of the target hardware systems, because of the variety of the available parallel computers and of the emergence of heterogeneous parallel systems such as networks of workstations connected by high speed networks and used for intensive computations. Invited Papers -------------- - "Memory Requirements for Parallel Programs" F. W. Burton, Simon Fraser University, Canada. - "Automatic Parallelization of Irregular and Pointer-based Computations: Perspectives from Logic and Constraint Programming" Pr. Manuel Hermenegildo, Technical University of Madrid (UPM), Spain. - "Automatic parallelization of irregular applications" Pr. Emilio Zapata, University of Malaga, Spain. Contributed Papers ------------------ Papers are solicited 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 networks. - Online scheduling. - Shared data structures. - Compilation techniques for irregular data structures.
