EuroPVMMPI 2002

   9th European PVMMPI Users' Group Meeting
   Linz, Austria, September 29th-October 02nd, 2002

   http://www.gup.uni-linz.ac.at/pvmmpi

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: May 10, 2002

PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) and MPI (Message Passing Interface) are
the most frequently used tools for parallel programming according to
the message-passing paradigm. The meeting is dedicated to the latest
developments of PVM and MPI and their applications.

This is the 9th EuroPVM/MPI meeting of the series, previous ones
being held at

  1994: University of Rome, Italy
  1995: ENS Lyon, France
  1996: TU Muenchen, Germany
  1997: Institute of Computer Science & ACC CYFRONET, Krakow, Poland
  1998: University of Liverpool, United Kingdom
  1999: Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain
  2000: Balatonfuered, Lake Balaton, Hungary
  2001: Santorini Island, Greece

The 9th European PVM/MPI Users' Group conference will be a forum for
the users and developers of PVM, MPI, and other message-passing
programming environments. They will have the opportunity to meet
each other, share ideas and experiences, and meet members of the
PVM and MPI teams. Main topics of the meeting will be

  * Algorithms using the message-passing paradigm
  * Applications in science and engineering based on message-passing
  * Latest extensions and improvements to PVM and MPI
  * Evaluation of PVM and MPI
  * Performance of PVM and MPI
  * Tools for PVM and MPI
  * PVM/MPI extensions
  * Implementation issues
  * PVM/MPI in metacomputing and grid environments

The 9th EuroPVM/MPI conference will be jointly organized with the
4th Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems
(DAPSYS) at the Johannes Kepler University Linz. Participants of the
two events will share invited talks, tutorials, vendor sessions, and
social events, while contributed paper presentations will go on in
separate tracks in parallel.

While EuroPVM/MPI is dedicated to the latest developments of PVM and MPI,
DAPSYS is expected to be a major event to discuss general aspects of
parallel and distributed systems. In this way the two events are complement
to each other and participants of the 9th EuroPVM/MPI conference can benefit
from the joint organization of the two events.

The conference proceedings are expected to be published by Springer in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

CONFERENCE VENUE:

The conference will be organized at the campus of the Johannes Kepler
University in Linz, Austria, which is traditionally a leader in
Austrian High-Performance Computing. At present, the University of
Linz features a SGI Origin 3800 with 128 processors, the fastest
academic and research supercomputer of Austria (Position 350,
17th Top500, June 2001). Additional highlights are a room-sized,
3-dimensional CAVE Virtual Reality Center and the Wireless
Campus Project.

The university campus is located on the border of the city of Linz,
a 200.000 inhabitants town on both sides of the river Danube. Linz
offers the visitor a mixture of typical Austrian historic sites,
well-known industry, and established cultural aspects. Around the
time of the conference, Linz presents the respected Ars Electronica,
the Cloud of Sound, and the Bruckner Festival. Situated in the middle
of Europe, Linz is close to Vienna (190 km), Salzburg (130 km),
Prague (240 km), Munich (270 km), and Budapest (440 km), and can
easily be reached from most major European airports (Frankfurt, Zurich,
Amsterdam, Vienna).
