Real-time systems frequently employ parallel and distributed computer platforms
in order to meet timing constraints and to achieve fault tolerance and
availability. In order to come to a usable solution, the issues of concurrency
and dependability must be considered simultaneously. However, it is often the
case that researchers focus on problems relevant to concurrent processing while
overlooking timeliness. Similarly, real-time computing research efforts are
often focused on producing techniques that apply only to single processor
systems.


The purpose of this IPPS '95 joint workshop is to address this unfortunate
state of affairs. In its third year, the IPPS Workshop on Parallel and
Distributed Real-Time Systems (WPDRTS3) will combine with the 7th
International Real-Time Ada Issues Workshop. This partnering will help to
place focus on problems of importance to those who are building concurrent
real-time systems in Ada. Thus, in addition to considering issues relevant to
concurrent real-time systems in general, the workshop will also give attention
to issues pertinent to concurrent, real-time Ada and Ada 9X. Topics of
interest include:


- Architecture, hardware, communication systems and protocols
- Operating systems
- Hard and soft real-time systems
- Fault tolerance, reliability, and security
- Scheduling, resource allocation, and optimization
- Programming languages and compiler techniques
- Complex systems engineering and reengineering
- Object-based techniques
- Design and requirements
- Applications (including multimedia, databases, artificial intelligence,
command and control, and transportation)
- Comparison of Ada/Ada 9X with other languages for real-time programming
- Implementation/performance of Ada/Ada 9X real-time and concurrent features
and Annexes
- Advances in real-time Ada/Ada 9X runtime systems
- Using Ada/Ada 9X for real-time concurrent computing


This joint workshop is sponsored by the U. S. Naval Surface Warfare Center,
and is held in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee
on Parallel Processing and Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems.

Tutorial 1
(Half-Day Afternoon)
___________________________


Architecture-Independent Data Parallel Computing on Coarse Grained Machines


Sanjay Ranka, Syracuse University
Ravi V. Shankar, Syracuse University


Who Should Attend: The tutorial is targeted at anyone interested in using
parallel computing for solving real world applications. Overall, the tutorial's
content will be split as follows: about 40% of it will be at an introductory
level, about 40% at an intermediate level, and the remaining 20% at an advanced
level.


Course Description: Commercially available coarse grained machines provide the
raw computational power to outperform traditional supercomputers by several
orders of magnitude. The objective of this tutorial is to describe architecture-
independent programming paradigms and software development techniques for the
efficient parallelization of regular and irregular data parallel applications
on coarse grained machines. Such data parallel applications cover a large
fraction of the applications which have been successfully parallelized on
these machines.


The tutorial will discuss important characteristics of commercially available
coarse grained parallel machines such as the IBM SP series, CM-5, nCUBE, and
Intel Paragon; important communication primitives required for solving
applications in the context of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) Standard;
and an overview of parallel constructs and data partitioning directives in the
context of High Performance Fortran (HPF). Several real world application
kernels chosen from scientific computing, and from areas such as computer
vision and image processing will be used to illustrate the algorithms and the
software development process. Important metrics for evaluating the
performance and scalability of the software developed will also be discussed.


Lecturers: Sanjay Ranka is an associate professor in the School of Computer
Science at Syracuse University, where he has been on the faculty since 1988. He
received his B. Tech in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian
Institute of Technology, Kanpur in 1985 and Ph. D. in Computer and Information
Science from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis in 1988. His main
research areas include models of parallel computation, parallel algorithms,
runtime support for compilers, and high-performance computing. He has
coauthored over 100 journal and conference papers, several book chapters and
a book on "Hypercube Algorithms With Applications to Image Processing and
Pattern Recognition," published by Springer Verlag. He serves on the editorial
board of the Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing and has served on
the program committee of several conferences. He has been one of the main
architects of the Fortran 90D/High Performance Fortran Compiler. He was a
member of the Message Passing Interface Forum and actively participated in the
High Performance Fortran Standard.


Ravi V. Shankar received his B. E. in Computer Science and Engineering from
Anna University, Madras and his M. S. from Syracuse University. He expects to
receive his Ph. D. in Computer Science from Syracuse University in early 1995.
During 1990, he was a visiting scholar at the Robotics Institute at
Carnegie-Mellon University, and in 1991 he was a Guest Scientist at the Siemens
Center for Research and Development in Munich, Germany. His research interests
include parallel computing, computational science, and computer vision.

The 4th Heterogeneous Computing Workshop (HCW '95) will be held on April 25th.
For the purpose of this workshop, Heterogeneous Computing (HC) is considered
the use of different types of parallel processors, processing components, or
connectivity paradigms to maximize performance, cost-effectiveness, and/or
development effort. HC might range in mode from coupled supercomputing-class
machines at separated sites (aka metacomputing) to diverse elements in a single
computer (aka mixed-mode processing). Components of HC have appeared in the
scientific literature over the past few years. They have included such efforts
as the matching of individual code segments to best-suited machines, the
development of heterogeneous processor suites to span wide problem sets, and
the intelligent management of heterogeneous processor suites.


The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:


- Code profiling
- Network profiling
- Matching and scheduling tools
- Analytic benchmarking
- Problem mapping
- Intelligent management
- Orchestration tools
- Metacompilers
- Configuration levels and modes
- Configuration switching
- Crossover strategies
- Processor selection criteria
- Programming tools
- Programming paradigms


The workshop will feature an invited address, several sessions of submitted
paper presentations, poster presentations, and a panel discussion.


Proceedings will be available at the symposium. For further information,

Reconfigurable architectures are the class of computing networks whose topology
of the network outside the processors is fixed and where the internal
connections between the I/O ports of each processor can be set locally during
program execution.


The 2nd workshop is organized for researchers who are active in the study of
reconfigurable computing to present state of the art results and to assess
future directions for this young field of research.


Following the successful format of RAW '94, the workshop will feature several
sessions of submitted paper presentations and an informal panel discussion. In
addition to reporting on progress following the panel discussion of RAW '94,
the presentations will cover the topics of:


- Algorithms (arithmetic/geometric/randomised)
- High performance computing with reconfigurable networks
- New models
- Complexity and power of different reconfiguration models
- Implementations


A special session will be dedicated to the use of FPGAs for implementing the
reconfigurable computing paradigm. The workshop will also feature a session for
discussing open problems and future of the reconfigurable hardware paradigm.


The contributed papers for the 2nd workshop selected by the program committee
from manuscripts submitted prior to January 1, 1995 will be announced at that
date. For further consideration after January 1, contact the workshop chair
prior to February 1, 1995. The workshop program and proceedings will be

Parallel computing has been shown to be successful for the solution of a wide
variety of structured and regular applications. However, research in
parallelization of many irregular applications is still in its infancy.
Examples of irregular applications include parallel search techniques,
discrete event simulation, sparse matrix problems, unstructured and adaptive
PDE solvers, particle dynamics problems, computer vision, and CAD of VLSI.
Many currently supported industrial and scientific grand challenge
applications fall into this category.


This workshop will focus on architectures, algorithms, programming models, and
languages for efficiently solving large irregular problems on parallel machines
with distributed memory. These include machines with and without hardware
support for multithreading, message passing, and shared memory. The workshop
will feature invited and contributed papers, and panel sessions in an informal
setting.


The deadline for contributed papers was the first week of November. However,
manuscripts of exceptionally high quality may be sent to the workshop chair for
consideration prior to January 21, 1995. The workshop program and proceedings
will be available via WWW from the chair after March 15, 1995. For further

OPENING PRESENTATION


Gb/s Networks Are Here - Now
Nanette J. Boden, Myricom
______________________________


The theme of this workshop centers on the impact of the emerging technology of
high-speed networks in the area of high-performance parallel and distributed
computing. High-speed internetworking is viewed by the information processing
and telecommunications communities as the next major infrastructure industry.
High-speed networks (such as SONET/ATM and high-speed local area networks) can
be used for interconnecting a large number of (possibly distant) autonomous
computers that operate in a distributed computing environment. Contributors to
HiNet '95 explore the capabilities, point out the difficulties, and report on
their experiences with high-speed networks when employed in high-performance
computing environments. The following is a partial list of topics to be
presented:


- High-speed network protocols
- ATM-based local area networks
- Computing paradigms for high-speed networks
- Distributed data base design and processing on high-speed networks
- Programming environments and tools for high-speed network computing
- Architecture and topology of high-speed networks
- Efficient communication interfaces
- Applications to parallel and distributed processing


The workshop program will be finalized by February 15, 1995. For more

WORKSHOP ON JOB SCHEDULING STRATEGIES FOR PARALLEL PROCESSING


Workshop Co-Chairs:

As large parallel computers become more popular, scheduling strategies become
more important as a means of balancing the need for exclusive use of the
machine's resources and the desire to make these resources readily available
to many diverse users. Neither sign-up sheets, naive time-slicing, nor naive
space-slicing are suitable solutions. Moreover, there appears to be a
divergence between what is studied, modeled, and analyzed in academic circles
and the actual, sometimes ad-hoc, scheduling schemes developed by vendors and
large installations.


The workshop is intended to attract people from academia, supercomputing
centers, national laboratories, and parallel computer vendors to address
resource management issues in multiuser parallel systems, and attempt to
resolve the conflicting goals such as short response times for interactive
work, minimal interference with batch jobs, fairness to all users, and high
system utilization. We hope to achieve a balance between reports of current
practices in large and heavily-used installations, proposals of novel schemes
that have not yet been tested in a real environment, and realistic models and
analysis. The emphasis will be on practical designs in the context of real
parallel operating systems.


Topics of interest are:


- Experience with scheduling policies on current systems
- Performance implications of scheduling strategies
- Fairness, priorities, and accounting issues
- Workload characterization and classification
- Support for different classes of jobs (e.g., interactive vs. batch)
- Static vs. dynamic partitioning
- Time slicing and gang scheduling
- Scheduling to support a specific model of computation
- Interaction of scheduling with memory management and I/O


Papers should be no longer than 20 pages, including figures and references. All
papers will be reviewed, and a proceedings will be distributed at the workshop.
Send 6 copies of the paper by February 1, 1995 to:


Dror Feitelson

Tutorial 2
(Half-Day Morning)
__________________________________________________________________


Techniques and Tools for Performance Tuning of Parallel and Distributed
Scientific Applications




Sekhar R. Sarukkai, Recom Technologies, NASA Ames Research Center
Rob F. Van der Wijngaart, MCAT Institute, NASA Ames Research Center


Who Should Attend: This tutorial is primarily aimed at developers of
scientific applications on message passing architectures (networks of
workstations and massively parallel computers) who are interested in acquiring
skills for improving the performance of their programs and in learning about
tools to support such efforts. Developers of parallel performance tuning tools
will also find interest in the user's perspective of the uses and limitations
of existing tools and latest developments and future requirements of
performance tools.


Course Description: This tutorial introduces techniques and tools for
developing efficient message passing programs on state-of-the-art parallel and
distributed machines, based on the practical experience of the presenters in
performance tuning of real life scientific applications. Performance tuning
strategies and tools for uniprocessor, vector processor and multiprocessor
(distributed memory) systems are compared and contrasted. Memory access
behavior and computation requirements of a number of scientific applications
and means of optimizing their performance are discussed. The performance
impact of the choice of data distributions, nature of memory hierarchy,
overhead of the message passing library and operating system choices will be
illustrated with examples.


The material covered in the tutorial will help program developers avoid common
performance pitfalls, detect performance bottlenecks using existing tools, and
apply techniques for improving program performance. The use of various tools
and efficacy of the techniques in improving performance is illustrated with a
number of numerical examples executed using PVM on workstation clusters, MPI
and NX on parallel machines such as the IBM SP-2, Intel Paragon and Intel
iPSC/860.


Limitations of current tools will be discussed. Directions of current and
future research in the areas of scalability analysis tools, user control of
operating system choices, monitoring HPF programs, and performance prediction
methodologies will also be highlighted.


Lecturers: Sekhar Sarukkai (PhD, Indiana Univ., 1992) has been working in the
area of performance evaluation of parallel programs over the last 6 years.
Since his graduation he has been working on performance evaluation tools at
NASA Ames Research Center, in association with a number of application
developers. His main research interests are in the area of performance
prediction and tuning techniques and tools for parallel and distributed
applications.


Rob Van der Wijngaart (PhD, Stanford Univ., 1989) has been working on
developing and implementing algorithms in scientific computing for 12 years.
He has held positions with the Netherlands National Aerospace Laboratory,
Shell Research, and at NASA Ames Research Center, where he is currently
involved in parallelizing large programs for the simulation of fluid flow
around aircraft.

Parallel Processing for Multimedia Information Systems


Arif Ghafoor, Purdue University


Who Should Attend: Researchers, developers and practitioners in the area of
parallel processing and multimedia information systems. A brief exposure to
general concept about parallel processing and data management would be helpful.


Course Description: Multimedia is a newly evolving application-oriented
discipline with applications in business, education/library, manufacturing,
CAD/CAM/CAI, medicine, entertainment, etc. A multimedia system requires
integration of diverse areas in computational sciences, including parallel
processing, computer vision and image processing, multimedia databases, and
fast compression/decoding schemes. In this tutorial we present the current
state-of-the-art in this area and discuss engineering challenges and
computational requirements for managing and encoding/decoding massively large
image and video data, generating and maintaining large scale indices for
multimedia query processing and allowing content-based retrievals. We
elaborate how parallel processing technology can play a key role for efficient
management of multimedia data and can provide computational needs for real-time
retrieval/storage of multimedia data and for efficient on-line query processing.


We discuss some case studies of parallel architectures for their potential use
as multimedia database machines and video servers.


Lecturer: Arif Ghafoor received his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from
Pakistan in 1976, and the MS, MPhil and PhD from Columbia University, in 1977,
1980, and 1985, respectively. Currently, he is an associate professor in the
School of Electrical Engineering, Purdue University. His research interests
include design and analysis of parallel and distributed systems and multimedia
information systems. He has published numerous papers in these areas, in
leading journals and conferences. Currently, he is directing a project in
distributed multimedia systems at Purdue University. His research in these
areas has been funded by many government and industrial organizations.


He has served on the program committees of various IEEE conferences. Currently,
he is serving on the editorial boards of Multimedia Systems (ACM/Springer
Verlag Publishers) and the Journal of Multimedia Tools and Applications (Kluwer
Publishers). He is also a guest/co-guest editor for upcoming special issues of
Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, IEEE Journal on Selected
Areas in Communication and Multimedia Systems Journal. These issues are on
various aspects of multimedia systems. He is consultant to many companies
including Bell Labs and General Electric. He is a senior member of IEEE and a
member of Eta Kappa Nu.

Description:
A generic parallel computing curriculum has yet to emerge. This is evidenced
by the myriad of approaches to teaching parallel computing that are represented
in introductory texts. Last year, our panel presented different approaches to
parallel processing education from the point of view of colleges, universities,
supercomputing centers, and parallel computing vendors. The focus of that panel
was on the issues involved in incorporating parallel computing into the
post-secondary education process. This year, we bring together panelists who
are approaching parallel computing education in very different and innovative
ways - different from each other and different from the panelists last year.
Topics to be covered include teaching parallel computing to freshmen, parallel
computing by CD-ROM, cluster computing, laboratories for parallel computing,
the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre Summer Scholarship Programme, and
surfing the parallel computing web.

LOCATION

SYMPOSIUM LOCATION


Fess Parker's Red Lion Resort in Santa Barbara overlooks the Pacific Ocean in
an area described as the American Riviera where the sun shines more than 300
days a year. Santa Barbara is an historic, village-like community situated one
third of the way north along the coast from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
Many shops, cafes, and museums are within walking distance of the Red Lion.


The area's temperate climate creates ideal conditions for tennis, golf, and
rollerskating, and the salty water supports surfing, sailing, and fishing. All
of these activities and more - basketball, horseback riding, polo! - may be
arranged right at Fess Parker's. Across the street the Cabrillo Path unwinds
22 miles for runners, walkers and cyclists (they rent bikes) and at the end of
every day there is sunset watching!


As shown on the map (opposite page), there are many places to visit in Santa
Barbara. Local sightseeing can be done from open air trolleys, and tour boats
to the Channel Islands depart daily from the nearby Stearns Wharf. If you
have already toured Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Knott's Berry Farm, day
trips in other directions include Hearst Castle, the Danish village of
Solvang, and the wine country.


AIR TRANSPORTATION


The Red Lion provides free airport transportation from the Santa Barbara
Airport which is located only 20 minutes from the hotel. The airport is served
by American, American Eagle, Skywest/Delta connections, United, United Express
and USAIR Express. All major airlines fly into Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX) which is less than a 2 hour drive from Santa Barbara.


GROUND TRANSPORTATION


Many local attractions are within walking distance and, as noted, the downtown
area is served by the Santa Barbara Trolley Company. For day trips, excursion
buses and auto rentals may be arranged at the Red Lion.


ACCOMMODATIONS


The special IPPS '95 rates at Fess Parker's Red Lion Resort are $110 for
singles and doubles, $125 for triples, and $140 for quadruples. These rates are
also available 2 days before and after the symposium. Guest rooms are as little
as thirty feet from the ocean with a view patio or balcony. The spacious rooms
include double vanities, mini bars, and remote control TV. And as described
above, there are recreational resources to meet everyone's interest. As we
discovered in 1994, the special IPPS rate makes this resort setting an
ideal location to have family and friends join you while you also enjoy
symposium events.
