                      =====================================================


SUIF (Stanford University Intermediate Format) is a compiler system
designed to support collaborative research in optimizing and
parallelizing compilers. The system is based on the concept of having
different independent compiler passes cooperate via a common program
representation. The first release of the compiler system was made
publicly available in May 1994.


The SUIF Compiler workshop is a new workshop for those interested in,
or already using, the SUIF intermediate format. It will be held at
the Gates Computer Science Building on the Stanford University campus
on January 11-13, 1996.


The primary goals of this workshop are:
    - to create a forum for SUIF users to share ideas and recent results
    - to encourage collaboration between different institutions
    - to provide information to those interested in using SUIF


The workshop consists of


    - a tutorial to introduce SUIF
    - presentations of 22 technical papers interspersed with
        a lot of discussion time
    - a panel (and reception) with confirmed speakers:
              Susan Graham (UC Berkeley)
              John Hennessy (Stanford University)
              Bob Rau (HP Labs)
              Daniel Weise (Microsoft Research Lab)
    - an open discussion on future development of SUIF


The schedule is as follows:


Jan. 11, Thu 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm Tutorial
Jan. 12, Fri 8:30 am - 9:00 am Registration and Continental Breakfast
                                9:00 am - 5:00 pm Technical Sessions
                                5:00 pm - 7:00 pm Panel and Reception
Jan. 13, Sat 8:00 am - 8:30 am Continental Breakfast
                                8:30 am -12:00 pm Technical Sessions


======================================================================
                                    JANUARY 11, THURSDAY - Tutorial
======================================================================


The tutorial will be given by members of the SUIF development team.


1:00 - 2:30


        Introduction


        I. Conceptual Model of SUIF
                  The SUIF representation: major kinds of objects and how they
                  are combined to represent programs.


        II. Top-Level Use of SUIF
                  How to run a program through the basic SUIF system. How
                  to view and understand the SUIF representation of a
                  program and relate it to input and output programs.


        III. Writing SUIF Passes, part 1
                  A step-by-step walk-through of building small passes that
                  manipulate programs in the SUIF representation, starting
                  with the simplest possible pass and adding features.


2:30 - 3:00 BREAK


3:00 - 4:00


        IV. Writing SUIF Passes, part 2
                  Continuation of the development of our simple passes,
                  adding more advanced techniques.


        V. The SUIF Universe
                  A brief overview of everything that exists in SUIF, including
                  the libraries and passes, and an idea of what they can do for
                  you. Also, a very brief glimpse at what is in progress
                  for the future.


4:00 - 5:00


        Parallel small group sessions. Topics to be determined
        according to interest. A preliminary list:
                A. General High-Level Compiler-Writing in SUIF
                          More depth on the core tools of SUIF.
                B. Parallelism Using SUIF
                          How to use the SUIF parallelizing compiler and how to
                          run the parallelized code.
                C. SUIF and the Back End
                          Back-end transformations and code generation for
                          SUIF.
                D. Simple SUIF: A Simplified SUIF System for Teaching
                          How to use the ``Simple SUIF'' system for teaching
                          compiler construction.

                                  JANUARY 12, FRIDAY - Technical Program
======================================================================


To provide ample time for questions and group discussions while
letting all interested parties introduce their work, we have adopted
the following format. Each session includes presentations of a number
of "long" and "short" papers, followed by a round-table discussion.
Long papers are allotted 20 minutes and short papers are allotted 10
minutes. All authors of the papers are invited to participate in the
round-table discussions.

                                        Travel and Housing Information


Stanford University is near two major airports: San Francisco (SFO)
and San Jose (SJC). Both airports provide rental cars and
pay-as-you-go shuttles.


We have a special room rate at the Palo Alto Holiday Inn, which is
adjacent to the Stanford campus at 625 El Camino Real. The cost is
$99/single, $109/double. These rates are good from Wednesday thru
Saturday nights. Please make your reservation directly with the hotel
at (415) 328-2800 and guarantee your room with a credit card. Tell
them you are with the "SUIF meeting" to receive the special rate.
Only a limited number of rooms are available at this rate, so make
your reservation early. No rooms at this rate will be available after
December 27. The Holiday Inn has two vans available to shuttle people
to the Stanford campus, and Stanford has a shuttle service that stops
near the hotel.


Other hotels, of varying cost and quality, are in the surrounding
area. If you have a particular need please let us know and we'll try
to help.


Weather in the San Francisco Bay Area in January ranges from 40-60
degrees and is often rainy. We suggest that you bring a warm jacket
and an umbrella.
