             SUMMER WORKSHOP IN PARALLEL COMPUTATION
                     UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO
                   (Preliminary Announcement)



The Department of Computer Science  and  the  Academic  Computing
Center  will  hold a two-week Workshop in Parallel Computation on
the campus of the University of Colorado from 15 June 1987 to  26
June  1987.  The Workshop will consist of lectures by leading ex-
perts in parallel computation and laboratory work on local memory
and shared memory multiprocessors. The tentative list of speakers
includes Jim Browne (U. Texas), Oliver  McBryan  (Courant  Insti-
tute),  James  McGraw  (Livermore),  Cleve  Moler  (Intel), Danny
Sorensen (Argonne), David Waltz (Thinking Machines), Harry Jordan
(U.  Colorado),  Gary  Nutt  (U.  Colorado),  Bobby  Schnabel (U.
Colorado).  Lectures will cover a broad range of topics including
languages,  architectures,  numerical  and non-numerical applica-
tions.  The Workshop is intended for graduate students and recent
PhD's  in  computer  science as well as a smaller number of espe-
cially promising undergraduate students.   It  is  expected  that
these participants will bring with them a project to be worked on
during the laboratory sessions.

Participants may receive a stipend of approximately $500, the ex-
act  amount  depending  on the estimated costs of the workshop to
the participant and his or her need for support. The selection of
participants  will depend on the following criteria: brief state-
ment of research activities and interests; two letters of  recom-
mendation;  transcript  of  grades;  and, description of parallel
computation project for the Workshop.

It is anticipated that this workshop will be supported in part by
the  Office of Advanced Scientific Computing of the National Sci-
ence Foundation.
