      Seventh International Parallel Processing Symposium (IPPS '93)
           Second Workshop on Heterogeneous Processing (HP '93)


SYMPOSIUM: The seventh annual International Parallel Processing
Symposium (IPPS '93) will be held April 13-16, 1993 at the Newport
Beach Marriott Hotel and Tennis Club, Newport Beach, California.  The
symposium is sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and will be held in
cooperation with ACM SIGARCH.  IPPS '93 is a forum for engineers and
scientists from around the world to present the latest research
findings in all aspects of parallel and distributed processing.

WORKSHOP: The second annual workshop on Heterogeneous Processing (HP)
will be held on the first day of the Symposium (April 13).  For the
purposes of the workshop, HP is considered the use of different types
of parallel processors, processing components, or connectivity
paradigms to maximize performance, cost-effectiveness and/or
development effort.  HP might range in mode from coupled
supercomputing- class machines at separated sites (aka
"Metacomputing") to diverse elements in a single computer (aka
mixed-mode processing).  Components of Heterogeneous Processing have
appeared in the scientific literature over the last several years.
They have included such efforts as the matching of individual code
segments to best-suited machines, the development of heterogeneous
processor suites to span wide problem sets, and the intelligent
management of heterogeneous processor suites.

The workshop will feature an invited address and several sessions of
submitted paper presentations.  Authors are invited to submit
manuscripts which demonstrate original unpublished research in all
areas of Heterogeneous processing.  The topics of interest include but
are not limited to the following:

Code Profiling                              Network Profiling
Metacompilers                               Analytic Benchmarking
Problem Mapping                             Intelligent Management
Orchestration Tools                         Analysis Tools
Configuration Levels and Modes              Configuration Switching
Crossover Strategies                        Processor Selection Criteria
Programming Tools                           Programming Paradigms

SUBMITTING PAPERS: All papers will be reviewed.  Send five (5) copies
of complete paper (not to exceed 15 single spaced, single sided pages)
to the Workshop Chair.  Manuscripts must be received by October 21,
1992.  Due to the large number of anticipated submissions, manuscripts
postmarked later than October 21, 1991 risk rejection.  (Post overseas
submissions air mail.)  Notification of review decisions will be
mailed by December 31, 1992.  Camera ready papers are due January 29,
1993.  Proceedings will be available at the symposium.
