Argonne National Laboratory has set up the Advanced Computing Research Facility (ACRF) for the study of parallel computing. To encourage the use of the ACRF, Argonne will be offering classes on parallel computing to familiarize potential users with the ACRF multiprocessors and parallel programming in general. Topics to be covered include: 1) Parallelizing compilers. 2) The Monitor and Schedule packages for portable parallel programming. 3) Hypercube programming. 4) DAP Programming. 5) Connection Machine Programming. A portion of the third day will be devoted to each attendee's particular project. The format of the course is alternating lectures and hands-on work with the parallel computers in the ACRF. At its completion participants will have written and run programs on each machine, and should be familiar with the ACRF environment. Fortran will be emphasized as the primary programming language. Knowledge of Fortran and Unix will be assumed. The upcoming schedule of classes is: January 18-20, 1989 March 15-17, 1989 May 3-5, 1989 June 21-23, 1989 August 16-18, 1989 October 11-13, 1989 Parallel computers currently in the ACRF are: 2-processor Ardent Titan 8-processor Alliant FX/8 16-processor Intel iPSC-VX hypercube 20-processor Encore Multimax 24-processor Sequent Balance 21000 32-processor Intel iPSC hypercube 1024-processor Active Memory Technology DAP 16384-processor Thinking Machines CM-2 Those interested in the classes should contact Teri Huml Mathematics and Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory Argonne, IL 60439-4844 (312) 972-7163 huml@anl-mcs.arpa There will be a $25.00 charge for the class. No financial support is available.
