Workshop on Compilers for Parallel Computers Preliminary Announcement PARIS December 3-5 1990 - Presentation: The workshop on Compilers for Parallel Computers is focused on compilation for parallel machines, regardless of the input language (procedural or declarative, sequential or parallel, synchronous or asynchronous) and regardless of the target architecture (vector unit or VLIW, shared or distributed memory, with or without a memory hierarchy, systolic arrays). Its aim is to provide insight into compilation techniques that are still at a research stage in the laboratory, but are already published in major conferences. This workshop, organized by Ecole des Mines de Paris and University Pierre-et-Marie Curie in Paris, is intended as a follow-up to the Workshop on Compiling Techniques and Compiler Construction for Parallel Computers, which was organized at Oxford in September 1989 by Tom Lake (BCS). Invited speakers from all over the world will explain their current work in advanced compilation. Talks will range from short presentations of new results (20') to in-depth reviews of existing techniques and algorithms (1 hour). Demonstrations are welcomed. The main topics are: . program representation, . static program analysis, . program transformation, . parallelism detection, . code generation, . software engineering aspects of parallel compilers (program database, incremental analysis and compilation, interactive transformations, static performance evaluation, debugging,...) . run-time environments (process migration, dynamic load balancing, data structure flattening and unflattening, performance measurement,...). These topics can be applied to any kind of language and parallel architecture. Comparative presentations will be welcomed (e.g. interprocedural parallelism detection algorithms, dependence tests, program transformation effectiveness on real programs, etc...) - Organizing Committee: Paul Feautrier, Universite' Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France (feautrier@masi.ibp.fr) and Francois Irigoin, Ecole des Mines de Paris, France (irigoin@ensmp.fr). - Provisional Program Committee: Paul Feautrier Universite' Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France.
