- ICASE/LaRC SHORT COURSE ON PARALLEL COMPUTATION
-
- July 26-30, 1993
- Radisson Hotel, Hampton, Virginia
-
- We are pleased to announce that the Institute for Computer
- Applications in Science and Engineering (ICASE) and NASA Langley Research
- Center (LaRC) will conduct a Short Course on Parallel Computation at the
- Radisson Hotel in Hampton, Virginia from July 26 to July 30, 1993.
-
- The objective of this course is to provide scientists and engineers
- with a fairly broad overview of parallel computing and the issues that
- affect the performance of programs running on multiprocessor machines. The
- course is intended for scientists and engineers who would like to exploit
- the potential performance of the new parallel architectures for their
- application needs.
-
- The course is divided into three broad themes, Parallel Architectures,
- Programming Languages and Tools, and Parallel Numerical Methods. There
- will be two three-hour lectures a day, each covering a particular subtopic.
- The topics and lecturers are:
-
- I. PARALLEL ARCHITECTURES AND THEIR PERFORMANCE

-
-
- There will be ample time for question and answer sessions with the
- lecturers. Lecture notes will be made available prior to the course to
- increase its effectiveness.
-
- Due to space considerations, attendance will be limited to about 100
- people. There will be a registration fee which is still undecided. If you
- wish to attend or would like further information, please fill in the
- attached form and return by MARCH 1, 1993 to:
