The UNIX International Multiprocessing Working Group is sponsoring a BOF session at the Baltimore USENIX on parallel programming interfaces. We invite anyone to attend, especially people with significant experience in multiprocessing UNIX systems and/or parallel programming language expertise. Date: Wednesday, June 14, 1989 Time: 8:30pm - 10pm Place: Somewhere at the Hyatt Yes, I know it's after the reception on Wednesday... UNIX International is a non-profit organization formed by manufacturers and others with a significant commitment to UNIX System V. UI provides high-level technical direction to AT&T's USO [UNIX Software Operation] with respect to the evolution of AT&T's source products related to UNIX System V. The MP group is developing high level requirements for multiprocessing, and wants YOUR thoughts/opinions on the user-level API for parallel programming. (Examples include the Mach C-Threads library, OS/2 threads, and the Sequent m* primitives.) The subcommittee on parallel programming interfaces will make a recommendation to the UI MP working group as to what interface(s) should be supported as part of the AT&T source product. We should have an interesting discussion -- join us, and you can help guide the evolution of the UNIX operating system! bill William T.
