June, 11-15 Amsterdam
CO-CHAIRMEN:
Ahmed Sameh (Illinois) & Henk van der Vorst (Delft and CWI)
PROGRAM DIRECTOR:
John R. Sopka (DEC)
INVITED LECTURES:
Burton Smith, "The Tera Computer System"
Tony Chan, "Parallel Multilevel Algorithms for PDE's"
William Wulf, "The Collaboratory: A Larger Context for Support
of Computational Science"
Wolfgang Fichtner, "Iterative Methods and Supercomputers for
VLSI Device Simulation"
Toshitsugu Yuba, "Dataflow Computer Development in Japan"

Anthony Hey, To be announced
CONTRIBUTED LECTURES:
About 125 papers have been submitted, covering a large number of
subjects. In summary the issues for the ICS'90 Conference are quite
well in agreement with what we believe to be the current trends and
main problems: tools to aid parallel programming as well as parallel
execution, the effects of memory hierarchy, programming techniques,
visualization, effective use of suitable kernels like the BLAS3,
besides the already more classical topics in this rapidly expanding
area: parallel algoritms, large scale applications on vector
multiprocessors and local memory machines, performance
evaluation, and architectures for special applications.
No more tham two parallel sessions will be scheduled at the
same time.
SOCIAL EVENTS:
Sunday, 10 June: Reception and informal get together. Admission
