  abstract= "PARAVER (PARallel Visualization and Events Representation)
     is a tool to visualize and analyze a parallel trace file.
     PARAVER can be used in two different ways: Creating its own
     trace file in accordance with the PARAVER trace format, or
     using a modified PVM library. PARAVER is based on a simple
     interface to manage several displaying windows. In fact,
     PARAVER can be seen as a tape recorder where the trace file
     is the tape. PARAVER provides many functionalities to see
     and analyze qualitatively the trace file. Moreover, the user
     can add his own analysis function to extend the
     functionality of the tool. This paper discusses the basic
     concept, design and use of PARAVER. We explain in detail
     each window. The different functionalities of PARAVER are
     also examined. Finally we present the future directions of
     our research."

  abstract= "This paper describes an experiment in providing explicitly
     parallel constructs in the style of occam within a
     functional programming environment. The work is based upon
     the monadic style proposed and described by Moggi, Wadler,
     Peyton Jones and others. The approach is pragmatic and
     conservative in that parallelism is treated as an imperative
     feature implemented by monadic functions. Overloading is
     used to provide a class of channel protocols. As in occam,
     data transmitted over a channel is fully evaluated and must
     be of ground type. An algorithm for checking channel usage
     in the presence of dynamic process and channel creation is
     described. The work can be described as an extension of
     functional notations allowing for explicit imperative-style
     parallelism. Alternatively, one could view it as extending
     the vocabulary of the occam language to allow for recursion,
     higher-order constructions and dynamic process and channel
     creation."

  abstract= "If complex problems are to be solved in reasonable
     computation times, then large scale parallel processing is
     necessary. For many of these problems, the density of the
     global communications dominated the performance of the
     parallel implementation. In these cases, the design of the
     interconnection network for the processors is known to play
     a significant part in the efficient implementation of
     problems on a large T800 transputer systems. This paper
     presents a new genetic algorithm for generating optimal
     configurations, augmented by simulated annealing for
     selected refinement of difficult cases. These configurations
     have the further advantage that they satisfy the best known
     criteria for producing configurations that perform well on
     real applications. The paper concludes by describing the
     impact this might have on the design of future T9000
     transputer configurations."

  abstract= "Linda is a model for communication and co-ordination of
     parallel processes. The model provides a virtual shared
     memory called tuple space, and primitives to place tuples
     into and remove tuples from tuple space. The style of
     programming provided by Linda is quite different to the
     style of, say, occam. We describe a new implementation of
     Linda across a network of transputers. We provide the four
     Linda primitives, in, out, rd and eval, together with a new
     primitive, collect, developed at York. The implementation
     focusses on two issues. The first issue is that the ordering
     of out operations in a sequential process must be preserved
     if we want Linda to act as a co-ordination language. Our
     implementation provides this. The second issue is the
     implementation of eval, Linda's mechanism for spawning
     processes. We outline an implementation which provides
     arbitrary spawning of processes which execute concurrently,
     despite the restriction, enforced by the transputer
     architecture, of declaring a static number of processes at
     compile time. We provide a small example to show how Linda
     can be used to write parallel programs, then outline current
     work being undertaken at York, which focusses on
     interpretive environments for high level parallel
     programming techniques. A prototype Linda implementation and
     ISETL interpreter have already been developed."

  abstract= "Mathematical models describing physical processes can be
     'matched' to discrete samples of processes by considering
     measured input-output data and adjusting coefficient
     parameters of the model to provide an optimal agreement
     between the system and model responses. This well known
     technique has been widely implemented in an off-line basis
     for many years. The process of matching can be based on
     standard optimization procedures such as Davidon Fletcher
     Powell, Fletcher Reeves or even simply Newton Raphson
     methods. Standard simulation routines such as Runge Kutta or
     Euler's methods can be used to generate the model responses.
     However, the procedure for model matching involves intensive
     computing. This paper offers a number of prospective
     approaches to the solution based on parallel computing
     methodologies. Using standardized model matching experiments
     and simulated noise-free data, performance comparisons for
     sequential and multiprocessor computations have been
     evaluated on a transputer-based system."
