-
-
- 7th International Parallel Processing Symposium Workshop
-
- on
-
- Analyzing Scalability of Parallel Algorithms and Architectures
-
- April 1993, Newport Beach, California
-
-
-
-
- Motivation and Objective:
-
- Scalability of a parallel computer system denotes the degree to which
- the system can effectively use increasing number of processors.
- Scalability analysis could be used to predict/analyze performance
- when the parallel computer is scaled up in terms of number of
- processors, processors speed and the speed of communication.
- It could be used for designing better parallel algorithms and architectures.
- The need for a concept of scalability both with respect to the
- architecture and the algorithm (implemented on the architecture) has
- been well established.
- Yet, there is no consensus on how the scalability of a
- parallel system should be determined.
-
-
- The objective of this workshop is to critically assess the state of the art
- in the theory of scalability analysis, and motivate further research.
- The workshop will bring together research
- done by theoreticians, application developers, and designers of architectures
- and system software on scalability analysis of large-scale parallel systems.
- Topics of interest include but are not limited to
- Scalability metrics, Scalability analysis of parallel algorithms, applications,
- and architectures, Cost effectiveness of scaling parallel architectures
- in terms of performance, software tools for scalable parallel systems.
- The workshop will consist of invited as well as contributed presentations by
- various researchers, and discussion sessions involving presenters
- and participants.
-
- Two copies of an extended abstract (preferably no more than 4 pages)
- should be sent to each of the workshop chair by February 1, 1993.
- The authors will be notified of the decision by March 1, 1993.
