- 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
