Announcing the Start of the West Coast Computer Science Colloquium

UCSD is participating in an exciting new teleconferencing experiment which
will allow six leading universities to be linked up live for a weekly seminar,
called the West Coast Computer Science Colloquium.  The universities include
Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UC Santa Barbara, and U Washington.
Each week, the seminar will originate at a different university, and will be
teleconferenced live to the other universities.  The colloquium is every
Wednesday at 4:00 in the CSE Lecture Hall, APM 4301.

The first talk is tomorrow:

Date:     Wednesday, Jan 20, 4:00 PM

Place:    APM 4301

Speaker:  Richard Karp
          Computer Science Division, University of California, Berkeley

Title:    LogP: Towards a Realistic Model of Parallel Computation

Abstract: The speaker will present a new parallel machine model, called LogP,
that reflects the critical technology trends underlying parallel computers. It
is intended to serve as a basis for developing fast, portable parallel
algorithms. Within the model a  distributed-memory parallel computer is
described by four parameters that specify its computing resources and the
functional characteristics of its interconnection network. Examples will be
given to illustrate the analysis of algorithms within this model, and the
model's predictions will be compared with actual performance on the CM-5.

This is joint work with David Culler, David Patterson, Abhijit Sahay,
Klaus Erik Schauser, Eunice Santos, Ramesh Subramonian and Thorsten von
Eicken.

Please pardon my posting this message. I can't seem to get a reply path to
"pasquale@odin"

Congrats on this new concept.  It sounds great.  I have a couple of questions:

1.  Are the colloquia open to the public?  As the Chair of San Diego's
    professional chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery, I
    would love to let my non-usenet member know about the colloquia.  

2.  Would it be possible to announce the subject matter and venue a little
    earlier?  Your announcement of the Jan 20 collooquium did not arrive
    until after Jan 23.  

Thanks, and good luck!
