The 1993 Simulation Multiconference will feature a special
Symposium devoted to the impact of High Performance Computing on
Computer Simulation.  Topics to be addressed include :

         (1) high performance computing applications;
         (2) parallel algorithms and numerical methods;
         (3) methodologies to exploit HPC architectures;
         (4) visualization and validation of large scale
             computer simulations.

  The goal of the Symposium is to encourage innovation in High
Performance Computing Technologies and to stimulate the use of
these technologies in key areas of Computer Simulation. It will
promote the exchange of ideas and information between universities,
industry, and national laboratories supporting the development
of High Performance Computing Applications which can provide solutions
to current scientific and technical challenges.
  The program includes papers describing the current  state of the art
in computer simulation in the application areas identified as "Grand
Challenges" in the U.S. Federal High Performance Computing  Initiative.
These areas include: 

     * 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics Models 
     * Combustion Systems simulation  
     * Predictions of weather, climate, and global changes 
     * Models of turbulence in fluid flows 
     * Computational solid mechanics applications 
     * Nuclear reactor safety analysis 
     * Computational ocean sciences and systems 
     * Nuclear fusion applications 
     * Computational Chemistry
