FOURTH PARALLEL CIRCUS
RUTGERS University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, December 2-3, 1988
THEME: Parallel Numerical Algorithms, Programming Tools and Applications.
OBJECTIVE: The meeting is an informal gathering of researchers
interested in parallel processing. The intention is to discuss recent
results in the area and exchange ideas for future work. The atmosphere
is completely casual and the speakers are chosen at the beginning of
the circus. To encourage easy discussion, there are no formal
proceedings. We hope that about 50 persons will be in attendance and
there are no parallel sessions.
HISTORY: It has been customary for the circus to be held twice a year
during Friday and Saturday. The first Parallel Circus was held in May
1987 at Yale (Chaired by Prof. M. Schultz), the second at Cornell in
November 1987, (chaired by Prof. Van Loan), and the third at IBM
Kingston (organized by V. Sonnad and chaired by Prof. G. Golub and M.
Schultz).
PLACE: The Fourth Parallel Circus is organized by Rutgers University
and will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel at New Brunswick, New
Jersey (chaired by G. Golub and A. Gerasoulis). New Brunswick is
located between New York (35 miles southwest) and Philadelphia and is
easily accessible via plane (Newark airport), train and automobile.
CONTACTS: If you wish to attend please contact Prof. Apostolos
Gerasoulis or Ms. Priscilla Rasmussen as soon as possible. PHONE:
(201)-932-2725/2768, E-MAIL: gerasoulis@aramis.rutgers.edu,

Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08903. If you wish to present
your work at the meeting include the title of your talk in your
message.
DEADLINES: The reservation cut off date for the conference rate at the
Hyatt is 11/10/88. gerasoul@profundo.rutgers.edu (Gerasoul) (12/23/88)
The fourth "Parallel Circus" was hosted by Rutgers University and
co-chaired by Gene Golub (Dept. of Computer Science, Stanford
University) and Apostolos Gerasoulis (Dept. of Computer Science,
Rutgers University) on December 2/3 at the Hyatt Regency in New
Brunswick. This meeting provides a forum for researchers interested
in parallel computing to exchange ideas in an informal fashion. The
first Parallel Circus had been hosted by Yale and chaired by Martin
Schultz in May of 1987 and was followed by meetings at Cornell
University and IBM Kingston (organized by Charles Van Loan and Vijay
Sonnad, respectively).
The rising interest in parallel computing was documented by the about
80 attendees that made this meeting the largest and most diversified
ever. The twenty nine talks that were presented touched virtually
every aspect of scientific computing. Some distinct advantages are
the exposure to as yet unpublished work or work in progress and the
informal atmosphere fostering exchange of ideas.
Joe Flaherty (flaherje@turing.cs.rpi.edu) of the Computer Science
Department of Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute was volunteered to host
the next meeting which is tentatively planned for around April of
1989.
