		      3rd European MPI Workshop
			 February 13-14, 1997
		 Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom


         ** CLOSING DATE FOR REGISTRATIONS: January 24, 1997 **


MPI (Message Passing Interface) is rapidly gaining wide acceptance as
the standard for message-passing programming. All major HPC hardware
vendors support MPI or have announced that they will do so. Mature
public domain implementations are available and are in wide use.

The MPI Forum reconvened during 1995 to address new functionality and to
develop an MPI-2 standard. MPI-2 is a superset of MPI and is expected to
be finalized in the first half of 1997. The new functionality in MPI-2
includes: dynamic process creation; single sided communication; parallel
input/output; real time.

The 3rd European MPI Workshop is the successor of the successful 2nd
European MPI Workshop held in January 1996 at VCPC and 1st European MPI
Workshop held in January 1994 at INRIA. This workshop is organized by
EPCC, and sponsored by the ESPRIT project "HPC Standards".

The workshop will include presentations by a number of key members of
the MPI Forum: Rusty Lusk, Convener; Steve Huss-Lederman, Editor; Bill
Saphir, Chapter Author Dynamic Processes; Tony Skjellum, Chapter Author
Real Time; Bill Nitzberg, Chapter Author Parallel I/O.  The workshop
will also be attended by European members of the MPI Forum.  We plan to
include sessions for vendor and third party developers, and for user
perspective discussion.

This event provides an excellent opportunity for users and developers to
learn more about MPI-2 and meet with members of the MPI-2 Forum and the
MPI developer community. Feedback on the continuing MPI-2 effort will be
welcomed.


Who should attend: European software developers with experience in    
  message passing programming or tool development. Participants from    
  universities, research organizations, and industry are welcome to    
  attend.

Venue: John McIntyre Centre, Pollock Halls, The University of Edinburgh.

Fees: GBP 50 (to be paid in cash at registration).
  Fees include refreshments and lunch.

Programme: To be announced.
