Announcement

Summer of HPF in Vienna

HPF Tutorial, July 1-2, 1996, Vienna, Austria
Workshop on HPF for Real Applications, July 3-4, 1996, Vienna

High Performance Fortran (HPF) is a data parallel language extension to
Fortran90 which provides a portable programming interface for a wide
variety of target platforms. The original HPF language specification
was produced by the High Performance Fortran Forum, a broad consortium
of industry and academia, which met regularly throughout 1992 and early
1993. HPF compilers are now available on most commonly-used computing
systems, and users are beginning to gain first hand experience with
this language. The Forum has continued to meet in order to address
advanced topics.

To increase public knowledge of HPF, a workshop and a tutorial with a
hands-on session will be held in Vienna during the first week of July.
The workshop is organised by the VCPC as part of the ESPRIT project
HPC-Standards.

Participants may register for one or more of the above events using the
form attached. For further information, please contact
[email-masked] or http://www.vcpc.univie.ac.at/ or complete
the form attached.

The workshop will be held at the Austrotel hotel, Vienna. A number of
rooms have been reserved there at a special rate for participants.
Please refer to the VCPC on your reservation in order to qualify.

Book rooms directly at: Austrotel, Felberstr. 4, A-1150 Vienna, Austria. 
                   Tel: +43-1-981110, Fax: +43-1-98111930.

Tutorial

The tutorial is divided into two parts. Participants may register for
the first day only, or for both days. It is especially suitable for
those who do not have access to an HPF compiler.

        Day One:        HPF in Practice, Charles Koelbel, Rice University. 

This tutorial will introduce programmers to the most important features
of HPF and illustrate how they can be used in practice for scientific
computation.  Further details can be found at
http://www.cs.rice.edu/~chk/hpf-tutorial.html

        Day Two:        HPF Tutorial, NA Software. 

Attendees will have hands on access to the NA Software HPF mapper and
tools on the Meiko CS-2 at VCPC. Please note that there are a limited
number of places for the `hands-on' sessions.

Workshop

This workshop gives an overview of the achievements of the HPF Forum,
including its recent activities, and provides up-to-date information on
HPF compilers.  Major compiler vendors will describe their efforts and
share their views on HPF.  Contributions from end users include
descriptions of completed and on-going code development efforts.

One of the aims of this event is to enable compiler writers, potential
and actual users of High  Performance Fortran to come together to
discuss their problems and needs. Compiler writers need guidance from
users in order to understand how best to improve their products;
application developers need to find out how to write their codes in
ways that help the compiler generate fast object code.  Thus we include
both kinds of presentation and leave time for discussion in the
program.

Exhibit

An exhibit room will be available to enable vendors of HPF compilers
and related tools to display their products and to disseminate
information during the workshop.  There is limited space only. If you
wish to participate, please contact [email-masked] with
a list of your proposed requirements.  Note that we will not be able to
process any requests after June 20.
