LOCATION AND DATE OF MEETING

The sixth  annual meeting of SupEur  will be held in  Umea, Sweden during
September 13-16,  1992. The meeting will  be hosted by the  University of
Umea and the Supercomputer Center  North (SDCN). The conference will take
place at Aula Nordica located on the university campus.


THE SUPEUR ORGANIZATION

The  SupEur  organization is  an  association  of European  academic  and
research  institutions which  are  actively engaged  in  large scale  and
numerically intensive  computing on  IBM systems.  The main  objective of
SupEur is  to provide an  open forum  for the European  supercomputer and
high performance computing user  community to exchange ideas, experiences
and solution to problems. SupEur  organizes an annual conference covering
these and related topics. In order  to establish as wide an international
community of  academic supercomputer  users as  possible, SupEur  and its
counterpart SUPER! in the USA work together in areas of mutual interest.


WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE MEETING

The  SupEur  92  meeting  welcomes  users and  potential  users  of  high
performance  computers and  representatives of  computer centres  serving
researchers  in  academia  and  industry.  The  meeting  is  particularly
intended to address  problems and needs of high  performance computing on
IBM machines.  It is aimed primarily  at users and those  supporting them
on supercomputers and  other high performance computers  by the provision
of training, code, advice, libraries and so on.


MAIN TOPICS OF THE MEETING

SupEur 92 will concentrate mainly on the following topics:

   o High Performance Computing (HPC): The Future
   o Algorithm Design and High Performance Computing Libraries
   o Tools, Environments, and Languages
   o Clustered Workstations and Cooperative Processing
   o Scientific Visualization


SOFTWARE EXHIBITION

Vendors are  invited to  contact the  organizers. Workstations  and video
facilities will be available for demonstrations.
