CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES


Current and future generation computer systems are aggressively
pursuing parallelism for increased performance. As the field matures,
the gulf between hardware and software performance grows larger. The
purpose of this working conference, the sixth in the series, is to
provide an open forum for the parallel architecture and compiler
research communities to debate key issues of common interest and to
discuss how the two communities migh= t work together to more
efficiently exploit the performance of parallel systems. We invite
researchers with interest in both conventional and non-conventional
approaches (MPP, SMP, clustered-SMP, data-flow, multi-threading, and
optical) to participate. We solicit papers which contain significant
novel ideas and research results, and tutorial proposals in the
conference=D5s general areas. Conference topics include (but are not
limited to):


* Parallel architectures and computation models;
* Application-specific parallel architectures;
* Compilers for parallel computer systems;
* Compiler/hardware support for reducing memory latencies;
* Compiler/hardware support for exploiting fine and medium grain
        parallelism;
* Compiler/hardware support for exploiting instruction-level parallelism;
* New parallel programming languages and paradigms;
* Application studies that demonstrate the performance of parallel
computer
        systems.
