1990 ACM International Conference on Supercomputing 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" Ahmed Noor, "Strategies for Large-Scale Structural Problems on High Performance Computers" Piet van der Houwen, "Parallel ODE Solvers" 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 free for participants. Tuesday, 12 June: Conference banquet, to be served during a boat trip through the Amsterdam canals and on the river Zaan to the Zaanse Schans. Costs: Dfl. 80.-- per person.
