The Connection Machine Application Workshop
October 28-November 1, 1991
The Connection Machine Application Workshop will examine three applications
domains: computational fluid dynamics, artificial neural nets,
and molecular dynamics. Its purpose is to help participants
gain a greater understanding for using the Connection Machine.
The Connection Machine Application Workshop is designed along two tracks:
% applications and algorithms
% performance programming techniques
At this one-week workshop, researchers will learn methods to
improve their performance on the Connection Machine and attend presentations
by scientists and researchers about the development of algorithms
and moving applications to the Connection Machine. Participants will be
encouraged to contribute codes to NCSA's Connection Machine code library
for further distribution and enhancements.
The Connection Machine Application Workshop will take place
October 28-November 1, 1991 at the National Center for Supercomputing
Applications, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Travel,
lodging, some meals, and workshop expenses may be provided.
The workshop is intended for key members of research groups that are
developing codes for the Connection Machine. Participants must have
programming experience with the Connection Machine.
=====================
To apply for the workshop, a proposal must be received by July 31, 1991.
Include a self-addressed stamped postcard if you would like an
acknowledgement that your proposal has been received. Late proposals will
not be considered. Enrollment is limited to 20 participants. Notification
of acceptance will be mailed on Thursday, August 15, 1991. Your proposal
must include the following:
1. Your name, affiliation, mailing address, email address, telephone
number, and fax number. Please indicate if financial support is needed
for participation in the workshop.
2. Describe your current position.
3. Describe your field of research. In an abstract of about 100 words,
give information about the problems you address and the methodology
you use. If possible, provide a measure of performance for the
application or kernel.
4. Describe the stage of development of this project (design, prototyping,
implementation), whether or not a user interface or documentation exists,
and the programming languages and support libraries you use.
5. Describe the availability of the application or algorithm to the
national computational community.
6. List articles, technical reports, conference papers, or any other
published material concerning the development of the application. If
possible, include reprints or copies of the above articles with your
proposal.
7. Indicate the CM site where the development took place; include the
minimum hardware requirements (number of processors, memory, floating
point, DataVault, and framebuffer).
8. Send proposals to:
