IPPS'97

The 11th annual International Parallel Processing Symposium (IPPS'97)
will be held April 1-5, 1997 at the University of Geneva, Switzerland.
The symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society's Technical
Committee on Parallel Processing and will be held in cooperation with
ACM SIGARCH.  IPPS'97 is a forum for engineers and scientists from
around the world to present the latest research findings in all 
aspects of parallel processing.

HIPS'97

One of the keys for a (commercial) breakthrough of parallel processing,
therefore, are high-level programming models that allow to produce
truly efficient code. Along this way, languages and packages have been
established which are more convenient than explicit message passing and
allow higher productivity in software development; examples are High
Performance Fortran (HPF), thread packages for shared memory-based
programming, and Shared Virtual Memory (SVM) environments.

This workshop provides a forum for researchers and commercial
developers to meet and discuss the various hardware and software 
issues involved in the design and use of high-level programming models 
and supportive environments.
