                      SUMMER WORKSHOP IN PARALLEL COMPUTATION
                               UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO
                             (Preliminary Announcement)

            The Department of Computer Science and the Academic  Comput-
            ing  Center will hold a two-week Workshop in Parallel Compu-
            tation on the campus of the University of Colorado  from  15
            June  1987  to  26  June 1987.  The Workshop will consist of
            lectures by leading  experts  in  parallel  computation  and
            laboratory  work on local memory and shared memory multipro-
            cessors. The tentative list of speakers includes Jim  Browne
            (U. Texas), Oliver McBryan (Courant Institute), James McGraw
            (Livermore), Cleve  Moler  (Intel),  David  Waltz  (Thinking
            Machines),   Harry  Jordan  (U.  Colorado),  Gary  Nutt  (U.
            Colorado), Bobby  Schnabel  (U.  Colorado).   Lectures  will
            cover a broad range of topics including languages, architec-
            tures,  numerical  and  non-numerical   applications.    The
            Workshop  is intended for graduate students and recent PhD's
            in computer science. It is expected that these  participants
            will  bring  with  them a project to be worked on during the
            laboratory sessions.

            Participants may receive a stipend  of  approximately  $500,
            the  exact  amount  depending  on the estimated costs of the
            workshop to the participant and his or her need for support.
            The  selection  of participants will depend on the following
            criteria:  brief  statement  of  research   activities   and
            interests;  two  letters  of  recommendation;  transcript of
            grades; and, description of parallel computation project for
            the Workshop.
