FRIDAY, AUGUST 16

TUTORIALS -- 8:30 A.M. - 5:00 P.M.

TUTORIAL 1
HIGH-PERFORMANCE PARALLEL PROCESSING USING PCS AND LINUX

Instructor: Hank Dietz

Audience: Engineers, programmers, teachers and researchers who are interested using low-cost PC hardware to provide a solid, UNIX-based, parallel computing platform.

Course Description: Commodity PC hardware offers surprisingly good performance at remarkably low cost. Linux is a very complete version of UNIX that is freely available as source code and runs well on a variety of PC platforms. This tutorial will cover a wide range of alternate approaches to using PC hardware and Linux to create high-performance parallel computers. Although the theory behind each of these approaches will be discussed, emphasis will be placed on the practical aspects of implementing and using these parallel systems.

A complete preliminary outline is available online at http://dynamo.ecn.purdue.edu/~hankd/Tutorials/icpp96.html.

Hank Dietz is an associate professor at Purdue University. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Polytechnic Institute of New York. He has been involved in the development of Linux.

TUTORIAL 2
HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPILERS

Instructors: J. Ramanujam and P. Sadayappan

Audience: Compiler writers for high performance architecture, architects for parallel computers, researchers in high performance computing, graduate students, and application developers.

Course Description: This tutorial will discuss many important issues in the design of high performance compilers. It begins with a review of computer architectures. Then a discussion of the overall compiler structure will follow. Several aspects of dataflow and dependence analysis will be discussed in detail. These will then be used in a detailed coverage of program restructuring techniques used in a wide variety of machines ranging from modern RISC workstations to high-end supercomputers. Specific details of compilation and examples of practical compilers and research projects will also be discussed.

J. Ramanujam is an associate professor at Louisiana State University. He received an NSF Young Investigator Award in 1994.
P. Sadayappan is an associate professor at The Ohio State University. He received his Ph.D. degree from SUNY at Stony Brook.
