- - 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. Inquiries should be addressed to: Professor Lloyd Fosdick Department of Computer Science Campus Box 430 University of Colorado Boulder, CO 80309 (303) 492-7507, lloyd@boulder.colorado.edu (csnet)
