1993 - 1994 Special Year on Massively Parallel Computing

Overview of Program activities

New Models, Architectures, and Technologies for Parallel Computation

September 20-22, 1993

Rutgers University

Organizers: Phil Gibbons, AT&T Bell Labs, gibbons@research.att.com

Richard Karp, UC Berkeley, karp@cs.berkeley.edu

and Charles Leiserson, MIT, cel@theory.lcs.mit.edu

This workshop focuses on how to model state-of-the-art parallel computers, and will also examine the possible impact of new architectures (such as the KSR, CM-5, and others) and technologies (such as optics) on our models.
