- 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.
-
- Cost
-
- The cost of this conference is $150, and includes lunches both days and a
- reception the first night. Guest lunch tickets are available.
-
-
- Accomodations
-
- Lodging is available at a special rate of $70 (US) per room, single or double
- occupancy, at the Hyatt Islandia Hotel, phone (800) 233-1234. ATTENDEES MUST
- ARRANGE THEIR OWN LODGING.
-
-
- Transportation
-
- Shuttle service is available between the San Diego airport and the Hyatt
- Islandia Hotel.
