ADVANCE PROGRAM --- HOT CHIPS SYMPOSIUM 8

                      Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Go On Vacation


                                                    HOT CHIPS SYMPOSIUM 8


                                                      August 18-20, 1996
                                                        Kresge Auditorium
                                            Stanford University, Stanford CA
                                                        (Advance Program)




Attend HOT Chips 8, a symposium on high-performance chips, which will
bring together researchers and developers of chips used to construct
high-performance workstations and systems. Enjoy the informal format
offering interaction with speakers. The first seven HOT Chips
Symposiums were huge successes and prompted articles in special issues
of IEEE Micro magazine.


Since 1989, Hot Chips has attracted an audience of pioneers in the
computer field as well as the hottest young designers. Each year, Hot
Chips has presented the latest developments in microprocessors, graphic
chips, support chips, compression chips, and embedded processors. Join
us on Sunday for two tutorials. Learn Java programming secrets and hear
about the most recent developments in uniprocessor chips.


HOT Chips 8 is sponsored by the Technical Committee on Microprocessors
and Microcomputers of the IEEE Computer Society.

SUNDAY TUTORIALS:


August 18, 1996 - Kresge Auditorium


7:30 - 8:30 Registration & Coffee at Kresge Auditorium
8:30 - 12:00 Java Software Secrets
12:00 - 1:00 Lunch
1:00 - 5:00 Toward 10 Instructions/Cycle Uniprocessors
5:00 - 6:30 Wine & Cheese Reception in the Old Union Courtyard


JAVA SOFTWARE SECRETS
Sami Shaio, Co-founder, Java Startup


Java has the computer world abuzz with its promise of a truly
platform-independent, object-oriented language, developed for
distributed computing environments. 'Applets' written in Java can be
downloaded over a network and safely executed in the client computer.


The tutorial starts with a description of the Java language and useful
programming idioms. Then we will explore some of the new Java
development environments available and provide a hands-on tutorial on
programming to the Java API - with emphasis on the graphical user
interface package (AWT class) and the networking libraries.


In addition to applets, we will also cover some techniques for
programming stand-alone applications and show that Java is a very
modern and useful language for all kinds of applications, not just for
applets on a web page.




TOWARD 10 INSTRUCTIONS/CYCLE UNIPROCESSORS
Yale Patt, Prof. of EE & CS, University of Michigan


The marketplace continues to demand more and more performance from the
computer systems we deliver. To us, that translates in part to packing
more performance on a single chip. The process technology people
promise 100 Million transistors in the year 2000, and 10 Billion by the
year 2010.


What do we do with them? Several paradigms have been put forward: VLIW
(which I dismiss), MP on a chip (which I think is not the best
approach), and one 10 IPC uniprocessor on a chip (the answer of choice
- mine!).


How do we get there? The problem has three parts: instruction supply,
data supply and instruction processing. And three components to the
solution: microarchitecture, compiler and algorithm. In this talk, I
will discuss some of what is going on in these dimensions that should
lead to a 10 IPC uniprocessor (on integer benchmarks, of course).

Software or Silicon - What's the Best Route to Java?
Moderator: John H. Wharton, Applications Research


Java has taken the network world by storm, and may also begin appearing
in embedded systems ranging from printers and cell phones to
air-traffic control monitors. Sun is responding with a line of custom
processors optimized for this next generation of Java-based products.


But are custom devices really needed? In what ways could
Java-intensive applications benefit from dedicated silicon? How do
hardware implementations of the Java Virtual Machine compare with more
conventional software approaches? Are there less radical hardware
solutions than implementing the full Java Virtual Machine?


Can anything be learned from language-specific CPUs of the past? This
panel brings together experts from all sides of the Java-processor
controversy to debate whether the performance and system-integration
advantages of a custom chip are sufficient to justify undertaking an
all-new design.

HOUSING


New for 1996: Campus housing applications are being handled directly by
Stanford this year, not the Hot Chips committee. You can find general
housing information on our web page at http://www.hot.org/hotchips. Do
not contact registration about housing questions or information.


Housing is available on the Stanford University campus in a student
residence that is conveniently located near Kresge Auditorium where
sessions will be held. The rate for single occupancy is $41.00 per
night and for shared occupancy, $29.25 per night for each person.
Bathrooms are shared by guests of the same gender. No smoking is
allowed in the residence or in any buildings on the campus. To receive
an application for campus housing, call the Stanford Conference Office
at 415-725-1429 or send an email to HF.CRU@ forsythe.stanford.edu.
Concerns? Call (415) 494-7081.
