- The Second Sisal Users Conference
-
- Hyatt Islandia Hotel
-
- San Diego, CA
-
- October 4-6, 1992
-
-
- Presented by
-
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
-
- with support from
-
- the US Department of Energy
-
-
- Sisal (Streams and Iterations in a Single-Assignment Language) is a
- general-purpose functional language that supports the development of
- determinate, machine-independent parallel software. The Sisal project has
- achieved significant successes over the past nine years, in many areas of
- computer science and parallel computing. Among these are the development
- of the Sisal language and the IF1 intermediate dataflow graph
- representation, the implementation of a runtime system for parallel
- execution on conventional shared memory computers, optimizations for
- functional languages, the achievement of Fortran-like performance, and the
- establishment of the Sisal Scientific Computing Initiative. The latter of
- these has involved researchers from many areas of science and engineering
- in the use of Sisal as an application programming language. In this
- meeting we will discuss uses of the language, the current state of the
- project, and its future directions.
-
- Who Should Attend?
-
- All Sisal users, implementers, and researchers, and those who are
- interested in the Sisal language or functional programming are invited to
- attend this meeting. We also welcome those involved in the various other
- aspects of parallel computing.
-
- Call for Papers
-
- We invite submissions of extended abstracts of five to ten pages in length
- by August 15, 1992. Decisions on acceptance will be made by September 1,
- 1992. Full papers will be due at the conference, and will appear in a
- published proceedings. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to)
- the following:
-
- * Sisal language
- * Sisal implementations
- * Sisal execution platforms
- * Sisal applications
- * Sisal programming tools
- * Research involving IF1
- * Functional languages
- * Functional programming
- * Dataflow computing
- * Hybrid languages (e.g. object-oriented and functional combinations)
-
- Cost
-
- The cost of this conference is $150, and includes lunches both days and a
- reception the first night. Guest lunch tickets are available.
