************************************************************************ HLPP 2003: Second International workshop on High-level parallel programming and applications Call for participation Monday/Tuesday 16-17 June, 2003 Paris, France Detailed informations: http://hlpp.free.fr ************************************************************************ Many applications of computing require performance levels attainable only on parallel architectures. Such systems are now readily available as their price/performance ratio continues to improve. The rapid development of affordable hardware for parallel computing makes the need to develop high-quality parallel software increasingly urgent. Sequential programming has long benefited from high-level programming techniques and tools that have made today's immense range of software economically viable. Two decades of research into high-level parallel programming has produced methods and tools that improve the price/performance ratio of parallel software, and broaden the range of target applications. GRIDs offer a tremendous computing power. Nevertheless, this power is far from being effectively exploited. In addition to technical problems related to portability and access, Grid computing needs new programming paradigms. Research on high level grid programming is particularly relevant. This workshop follows HLPP 2001 and is aimed at - computer science researchers, practitioners, graduate students - scientific computing researchers, practitioners, graduate students - high-performance application developers (e.g. in DBMS, data-mining, parallel model checking, virtual reality) Invited Lecture --------------- The Real-Time Revolution Bill McColl Professor of Computer Science, Oxford University Founder and CTO, Sychron Inc Presentations ------------- Eskimo : Experimenting Skeletons on the Shared Address Model Marco Aldinucci Pipelining a Skew-insensitive Parallel Join Algorithm Mostafa Bamha, Matthieu Exbrayat Top-Down Design of Bulk-Synchronous Parallel Programs Yifeng Chen, J.
