Call for Participation
The Leonardo Fibonacci Institute
for the Foundations of Computer Science
Course on the Structure of Parallel Machines
June 17-21, 1991
Lecturers:
Prof. Sandeep Bhatt, Yale University
Professor Bhatt received the Ph.D. in Computer Science from the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and has been with Yale
University since 1984. His research interests include algorithms for
fine-grain multicomputer networks, and applications of graph embedding
techniques to program mapping and VLSI layout.
Prof. Gianfranco Bilardi, University of Padova - Cornell University
Professor Bilardi received the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from
the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He joined Cornell CS
Dept. in 1984 and is currently with the EECS Dept. of the University
of Padova, Italy. His research interests are in parallel algorithms
and machines, and VLSI.
Prof. Arnold Rosenberg, University of Massachusetts at Amherst
Professor Rosenberg received the Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from
Harvard University. He is currently a Distinguished University
Professor of Computer and Information Science at the University of
Massachusetts, Amherst. His research interests are in graph-theoretic
models for computational processes and structures, with current
emphasis on parallel architectures and algorithms.
Course Outline
This course is concerned with the structure of parallel computers and
the management of their resources, with particular focus on the
relative power of computing structures and on automatic techniques to
support convenient programming abstractions on physical machines.
Models of parallel computation : Dataflow. Shared memory.
Parallel RAMs. Message passing. Networks. VLSI.
Memory : Distributed implementation of shared memory. Memory
hierarchy.
Communication : Message routing. Graph embedding. Mapping
programs to machines. Simulations among networks.
Machine Layout : Layout of networks in two- and three-space.
Area-universal and volume-universal networks.
Course Structure and Applications
The course will be supplemented by guest lectures presented by leading
specialists visiting the Institute from both academia and industry.
To foster a congenial and productive atmosphere, attendance is limited
to approximately twenty or twenty five participants. Participants are
encouraged to talk about their own research. A select group of
four to six participants will stay on for additional three weeks and
will conduct research in collaboration with the lecturers.
There are no fees for the course. Ten to fifteen scholarships will be
awarded to outstanding participants, covering local expenses (meals
and lodging). To apply, send a short resume and a cover letter
stating whether you wish to attend only the course or if you would
like to participate in the research experience. If you would like to
be considered for financial support, arrange for two letters of
recommendation to be sent directly, and indicate this in your cover
letter. Address all material to:
Prof. Gianfranco Bilardi, Dipartimento di Elettronica ed Informatica,
Universita' di Padova, Via Gradenigo 6/A, 35131 Padova, Italy.

Applications requesting financial support should be received by April
15, 1990, and notification of a decision will be sent by May
5. Other applications will be considered until May 15.

My previous posting unfortunately omitted the crucial fact that
the Fibonacci Institute is in Trento, Italy. A revised version
follows. I apologize for the inconvenience.
