The Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science plans to offer a 2-week intensive course from July 22 - Aug 2 to prepare faculty to teach classes on the programming of parallel computers. This course covers the major programming styles, - message-passing computing - shared-memory computing - data-parallel computing, as well as the - automatic extraction of parallelism and representative computer architectures. The course emphasizes the practical aspects of parallel computing as well as theoretical models relevant to parallel computing. There will be extensive laboratory sessions to provide the participants with hands-on experience on a variety of computers, e.g. Encore Multimax, iWarp, Cray YMP, etc. Instructors: Allan Fisher and Thomas Gross. There is no tuition for attending this course. A grant by the Cray Research Foundation enables us to subsidize the cost of travel and/or stay. To apply contact Allan Fisher, Associate Dean, School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA 15213, or Allan.Fisher@cs.cmu.edu. See the paper by Fisher and Gross in the 1991 SIGCSE Technical Symposium for more details.
