The program and list of confirmed attendees is available through netlib. Here's how to get some information as TeX files. Send the following msgs to netlib: send index from meetings send la-ima from meetings. I think this is going to be a very exciting year. We owe much thanks to Dick Brualdi for his great efforts in putting this program together.

My new address is: Linda Petzold Computer Science Department University of Minnesota 200 Union Street S.E., Room 4-192 Minneapolis, MN 55455 phone: (612) 625-2013 FAX: (612) 625-0572 email: petzold@cs.umn.edu ------------------------------ From: James Epperson Date: Mon, 15 Jul 91 23:41:16 CDT Subject: Methods for Parabolic Equations on (0,inf). I have developed an algorithm for efficiently solving parabolic equations on the positive axis. However, since this isn't my usual area of research I am not familiar with the literature and am a little concerned that I have discovered something already known. Accordingly, I would appreciate any references to papers in this area which the na-digest community might be able to provide. I haven't been able to find much, frankly. Thanks much -- Jim Epperson Mathematical Sciences Dept., Univ. of Alabama-Huntsville ------------------------------ From: Fred Kus Date: Tue, 16 Jul 1991 16:02:00 -0400 Subject: Timing Routine for the RS6000 Hi, I want to run some benchmark programs (LINPACK, etc.) on an IBM RS6000 system. However this requires a function SECOND to return the cpu time. Usually, SECOND just calls ETIME, but ETIME is not available on this system. If anyone has a version for the RS6000, please email me a copy. Thank you. Fred Fred W.

AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE The aim of the conference is to give an overview of the state-of-the- art of the development, application and future trends in parallel computing. The emphasis of the conference will be on applications of parallel computing. The following sections will be included: 1. Numerical and non-numerical algorithms for all types of parallel computers, including vector and array processors, distributed systems, data flow machines, hypercube systems, cellular/systolic architectures, neural nets. 2. All aspects of the applications of parallel computers, including business, industrial, scientific and engineering applications. 3. Software for all types of parallel computers, software engineering, programming paradigms, programming languages, programming environ- ment, user interfaces, system software, etc. 4. Taxonomy, models and architectural trends of parallel processing; general architecture concepts, simulation and enabling technologies. 5. Performance prediction, benchmarking, measurement and analysis. INVITED SPEAKERS M. Cosnard (France) Designing Non-Numerical Algorithms for Distributed Memory Computers D.
